On the day you wake up and you take that fresh breath
Everything feels alright for the first time in months
You can smile without the strain
The knot in your throat has disappeared
That is when you should get scared
You are happy now, you have something to lose
It took you so long to gain it back, 
and anything can take it away in a matter of moments
When you hear that song, when you see that painting,
when you walk by the park, when someone says their name,
and you turn around to find a different face,
but you can’t deny that you expected to see theirs
Then, all the memories come flooding back
Every painful lie they told you, 
and the last cruel words they left you with, 
replaying over and over in your head
When you pick yourself up again 
When your smile comes back
That is when you should get scared,
because anything can take it away before you have time to hold on
