I'm a fool for having the need to rely on someone for happiness.
My happiness has two legs and a full name.
I know I'm supposed to depend on myself only,
but how can I do that when I feel whole when I'm with you?
How can I depend on myself for happiness when whenever I think of home,
the first name, the first face in my mind is yours?
I'm a fool for calling you my happiness because nothing lasts forever and I'm afraid that if you walk away,
I'll have to go down that road of pain all over again before I met you because everyone always leaves,
and what guarantees me you came to stay?
