Happiness entered with love.
Its intensity decreased.
It bursts in random fits now,
Yet it hasn’t fully ceased.
I hope due to memory
Of each and every touch;
But I try not to complain –
At least, not so very much.
Is this all that’s left behind:
A touch here, a smile there?
Yes, most loving’s done alone,
In dreams built from empty air.
But my fear is this
That I will never realize,
If this is love’s truth
As seen from its own eyes?
I could free this happiness,
For one that seems more,
But then I remember
I have done this before.
Do I need to reach out,
While holding this one true,
And find in other smiles
What I often found in you?
Is this what love had to show
To make me notice the grey,
In love’s battle of colours,
Is this how we make it stay?
