A Pint of Happiness

        A Pint of Happiness
             
Before we met I thought it all figured out,
   
then you came along and everything was forgotten.
                             
I probably destroyed us by leaving but you changed the plan;
                         
your drinking and my anger have taken over, 

oh why do they have such a strong hold?
                         
If I did not know better I’d say that the bottle loves you more than you love me;
                               
if it cares so much about you then where is it now?
                           
Now I’m out of your life; does it still give you comfort?
                            
I could have given you more than a pint of happiness,
                         
but you chose the bottle and now it’s time for us to move on.
                    
Looking back I feel like we never knew each other completely,
                 
the shame I have for not trusting us is deeper than the love we shared.
          
Chance after chance was given but like so many before we have run dry.
                                
I hope you forgive me; I hope you forgive you! I hope you remember; I hope I do too: 
                  
how precious was our love the day we said, I do! I gave you my all and so did you.  
                                            
However, sometimes we must let go...and for us it is better to let go.
