happy day

yesterday was a happy day.

i've always allowed myself to be happy only when a moment has already passed. yesterday i decided to seize the happiness from the present. and so i did.

another funny-sad-happy moment, like the ones i was used to before. and everything about it--the business, the laughs, the twinkle in someone's eyes at the crack of a joke--was just about nearly everything i'd missed in the past three weeks.

now the epilogue is beginning. and it will all culminate with a party.

all the impossibilities and sad realities of the present will be forgotten. everyone will be there. and we'll celebrate and reminisce and laugh about the adventure that had just ended.

back to yesterday: after the oh-so-casual "Byers", i kept my heart on a bridle until you were out of sight. then someone started to sing that cheesy song.

i wanted to skip and sing and follow my dreams.
