You Asked Me if I Was Happy

You accused me of being unhappy too. Because how could I possibly have been happy like things were. And I couldn't really express how I felt.

But I can now. I was happy because I loved you. Because we had a life together, a family, a home. I thought we had a future.

I did not have an exit strategy. I did not abandon you. We had weathered some rocky patches and I knew we could do it again.
