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?
