It Started With a Smile
The smile fades away. The reasons behind it don't.
A face that once glowed, returns to its original state of indifference.
This a fine reminder of that which is often short lived - happiness.
We're in this place that only offers limited joy, limited happiness, limited life.
The things that give evidence of joy, happiness or life are few and far between.
We comfort ourselves by trying to find someone to make us happy. We seek to have our craving for attention satisfied.
We start to love because we want to, not because we have to.
I did, I do and I will forever.
