I found Happiness
In the giggle that escaped
From just-kissed lips
After sharing a moment
Of utter immaturity.
I found Happiness
In the way your arms
Knew just how hold me
To make all my cares
Steadily drift away.
I found Happiness
In the words that slipped
Out of your mouth
Leaving imprints that
You’ll never understand.
How I clasped so tightly
To Happiness but I had to
Let it go and I watched
As it scurried away and
In its place Denial settled.
