Happiness and Sadness

Happiness and Sadness
went on a romantic date.
There was so much chemistry
between them.

Sadness was carrying
a book of poetry.
Happiness was laughing.
Everything was going well, until...

Happiness said to Sadness:
"I can make your life
very happy!"
Sadness got up and left.

Happiness was in shock
No too happy now 
asked the universe:
"What did I do wrong?"

A little voice said:

Sadness is fine being as it is
But you wanted to change its nature
Learn to dance together 
You need each other
