Happiness
is a waking dream
for life in reality
is not worth living

I have too many emotions
and i don't know why
and i don't know what to do
and i can't make up my mind
and i'm sick of hurting people
least of all myself
but i can't help taking risks
to find some happiness

not worth it
not anymore
not with the pain i've caused
not with the pain I feel
not with the never ending changing feelings
one moment in love
and the next
indifference

But in my dreams
everything is simple
Events come in waves
and every wave is interesting
and exciting
and lovely
and perfect
and happy
all by its short self

In my dreams
I am with the one I love
the person may change
but i still get want I need
no need for permanent decisions
no need for vows
no need to say I love you and not mean it
at that moment there is love
at that moment I am entranced
at that moment I feel full
at that moment I am happy

the real world
is simply a nightmare
in my dreams
I wake up
