I was okay,
Very okay,
Until my dream of you woke up with me.
I was okay,
Very okay,
Until my morning coffee sweetened,
Alongside thoughts of you.
I was okay,
Very okay,
Until my phone stuck on my hand,
Feeding on your every word.
I was okay,
Very okay,
Until I heard that love song,
My heart played with it.
I was okay,
Very okay,
Until that couple walked in front of me,
They held hands, I felt me hold yours.
I was okay,
Very okay,
Until I saw that house, that homely house,
We would be truly happy.
