Happy

It's the sunrises, watching them side by side.

The late nights watching movies over and over again.

The laughter.

The words--the long, beautiful ones.

The waves washing up the shore, the sunlight shining in my eyes, the wind tugging at my hair.

It's the music, the melody.

It's the vibrant colors.

It's the conversations that are only half-words and the other half is smiles and giggles.

It's the inside jokes.

The hot cocoa when it's still dark outside and the house it still quiet.

The board games sitting cross-legged in the living room.

It's the singing at the top of my lungs when no one's listening.

It's reading late at night with a book-light.

It's the soft fur of puppies and the wet, rough tongue.

It's the peace that I feel before the sunrises.

That's what makes me happy.
