happiness awaits you, the paradox

my 'happiness' is fleeing away

but happiness awaits me

i wonder how! 

when surrounded by the fragrance of your presence

blessed is how i feel.

when i see your smile everytime i touch the eyelids

a smile-back is what i respond with 

but when the eyelids part

misty-eyes is what i find.

i try to cover up the mist 

with the smiles you bestowed upon me

but then my heart becomes misty 

the heart starts pumping tears.

........................................................................................

well if happiness awaits me

i shall wait for my 'happiness' as long as it takes.
