Happiness

Heart so cold that my mind is unable to function, I reach for life and manage to find it, but I am all alone. I seek for happiness but I cannot find it. I look around and the only person I can find is myself. 

Happiness where are you? 

You tried to resemble with me, you tried to charm me with your sweet words but I pushed you away. You told me how beautiful I was, still I pushed you away. I told my heart that I can never let a man enter my heart and I told you that I was not willing to give love a chance.

Happiness where are you? 

I watched as you walked away disappointed, I saw the sadness in your walks. I witnessed how you tried to reconnect with me again, but I pushed you away again. I refused to listen to you.

Happiness where are you?

I sat down and paused for a minute just so I could understand why I pushed you away. My heart quickly stopped beating when I realized that I had made a mistake and that I might never see you again.

Happiness where are you?

I looked back hoping and praying that I would see you again, hoping that I would be able to tell my heart to give you a chance. I looked back, but you were gone. Will we ever meet again ? 

Happiness where are you?

Ayathandwa, Some say happiness comes when we are not looking for it outside but inside.

That's true. We are most happiest when we love ourselves first. Thanks.
