We find their love within


 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
