why does happiness have such a soundless presence

sneaking in ever so quietly

but leaving before I could say goodbye 

but its absence leaves no room for me to hear anything else

did it know that if I had the chance, I wouldn’t let go?

that if I knew it, I would never look again?

that if  I had it, I wouldn’t be me?

that though I beg for its return, i know

with happiness, i wouldn’t be me?
