Happiness in Love
Darkness… caves…
light… valleys and plains…
Where does this road lead me?
Rain poured… unexpectedly,
flood came, drowning my soul;
my heart pounding
eyes blurred with tears…
My mind traveling
way back…
Am I wrong?
Meeting love…
Meeting hatred…
Yet, chose to love again?
I came across sorrow in happiness,
I felt pain in love…
But I never learned!
Now, I wallow in misery… again.
Was it I?
Was it you?
Wasn’t it right for us?
I tried to understand
I know you gave your best, too.
Perhaps it was love.
Perhaps it wasn’t.
Or still, time wasn’t right
that you and I would be…
Wandering… I came to a stop,
“Do I love you?”
I listened…
“I’m no longer sure
as I was before.”
Was it because of pride?
I don’t know.
Then I let go…
Disguising myself…
I smile.
I laugh.
Thinking…
Oh! We really would never be!
Asking myself…
When would happiness
be real happiness
not pain clothe in joy;
When will love
be endless and true love?
Only heaven knows!
Hoping… wishing…
praying hard, too…
that in the right time
in a right place
with the right person
…I’ll find happiness in love…
