Endlessly
We have seen this countless times before
We fall for those who will never reciprocate
The feelings we have and show
Though we may care that much for someone
Their lives are happy already
In their content they forget or don't know
The feelings we feel for them are the only
Happy feelings we will ever have
Because we search for the happy people
In our lives we are constantly let down
When they say they don't need anyone else
Starting the callous and never ending cycle
In the pursuit of happiness
When we realize we can never have any
Content with life we settle for the sad ones
The then dejected relationships we have
Give us both a poor emotional state still
We need someone who will help guide us
The positivity and happiness in life
Spending time with those who are sad
Only limits our potential for happiness
Will we ever find happiness through someone
Never will we find happiness in another
We have to pursue this light on our terms
Find love not in another but in ourselves
They who are content in life forever
Will not help those of us who are sad
Not out of pity will we recover
Through some smile and laugh
We will realize there is more to life than
You
