It's better
Whenever I'm not thinking of you.
It's better when I laugh
And it's not because of your sarcasm.
It's better when I cry
And its because I'm overjoyed.
It's better when I fall asleep at night
Without tears on my pillow and a sweet lullaby of music in my ears.
It's just much better now going into every day without any expectations.
It's better when you wait for the surprise instead of trying to pave out your future.
It's better. I promise you.
It's better because the best has yet to come and you don't even know it.
