There are days when I think
that I have found this elusive item.
And then when it’s in my grasp
I lose it, and it’s gone forever.

Am I truely happy?
Are any of us truely happy?
What does it mean to be happy?
Can this question be answered?

If life is a quest for happiness,
then have I even left home yet?
Have I even packed for the long journey
to find this golden ray of sunshine?

I think I found happiness,
looking into your eyes.
And yet I could not find it
after you blinked away a tear.

Were we happy together,
spending all day with one another?
Did it mean anything
when you said you loved me?

What is this thing I’m feeling now?
It doesn’t feel warm like happiness should.
It must be how you feel
when your world comes crashing down.

I had everything one minute,
fame, fortune, love, and power.
But there was one thing missing
from that mathematical equation.

Respect.
Respect is what one needs for happiness.
Respect for one another
is the all important final decimal place.

I can’t get no respect
from anybody I know.
People laugh at me, point
and play practical jokes.

I grow weary of this.
I grow weary of everything.
I just want to curl up
and let the world pass me by.

This is the time of my life
for making memories.
For forging bonds of friendship
to last a lifetime.

Oh my hero, where are you?
Will you come riding in on your white horse
and whisk me off to never never land?
When are you coming?

Or did you already arrive
and I pushed you away?
Giving you some lame excuse
that I was too busy to care.

Now in my darkest hour
the time when I need you most
I cannot find you
were you ever here?

The hours grow so cold
and time passes slowly.
Will the sun ever shine again?
Are you on your way?

In the darkness of the storm
I can see a lonely door.
But this the experience of survival,
and that may be the gravity we need.

This is the gravity of love
an attraction greater than Jupiter’s,
with passion hotter than the sun.
My hero is here. He has always been.

I feel happiness return
I know that my knight is here
that he will never leave me
that he will always love me.

When the skies are grey
I simply need think of him
and the clouds will part
and give way to brilliant light.

My dearest, my darling,
my one and only love.
I feel for you like no other,
and yet I cannot tell you.

My hero, so far away now
shall I ever see your smile?
Love goes away, like night into day
was it just a fading dream?

I miss you, I want you
I need you more than life itself.
Will you please tell me those words
which I long to hear?

Tell me you love me.
tell me you need me.
tell me you cannot live without me
the way life cannot go on without you.

I don’t hear from you
and life ends for me.
How long has it been since last we spoke?
The hours pass so slow.

I gaze into the night
wishing on a shooting star
and in the distance I see you coming
or is it just a passing dream?

The streetlamp illuminates you
the reflection from the puddles adds to you
My heart leaps with joy
since you have come to rescue me.

You take me in your arms
and I feel safe once again.
I missed you so much,
and once again I’m happy.

I’m filled with warmth
and there is sunshine in my world once again.
Darling, please don’t leave me
please don’t let me be swallowed by the dark.

A single tear slides down my cheek
and you wonder what is wrong.
“Nothing,” I say, wiping it away
“I’m just so damned happy right now.”
