Happiness Collides. Swati.

Happiness collides,

With a little sorrow and mumbling lies.

Knew you from a time before,

Knew enough, to know you more.

You continue looking,

Straight into my eyes.

Talking in another language,

I couldn’t confide.

I still remember the softness

Of your beautiful eyes.

I miss the way you looked at me,

And how you made me smile.

All those pretty flowers,

On the day things went bad.

I also remember the day,

You left me, sad.

There’s this happiness,

And an old melancholy.

It’s like from another time,

We knew and when we met.

Formality and manners,

Greetings and words.

What have we come to-

From lovers to this?

I hug you tight,

And you hold me close.

We don’t talk of the past,

Just smile at us.

I still feel the fireworks,

The little, that are left.

I still feel the happiness,

And the sorrow, that we fell.

I cannot understand what this is,

What this meeting meant.

I have nothing bad to swear,

Only good feelings to bear.

So, one thing went wrong,

And it was a big blunder.

But, what we had,

I’d cherish forever.
