Happiness is a long lost friend
I see happiness and I don't recognise it
We last met when I was 11 on a family trip where I didn't have to be an adult
I often meet it's cousin "smile" though
I meet smile generally in a formal setting where I feel the need to be polite and welcome it
Happiness has changed through the years
It's not what it used to be
Happiness meets me seldom
Maybe there's something with me it doesn't like
Happiness is nostalgic
Like playing 'name place animal thing' in school
Happiness and I were bestfriends when I was young
In school, happiness would get ready with me in the morning when my mom tied my hair into two braids
It would sit by my side through the day
Occasionally it would sulk during exams but it would always come back to me when results came
Happiness would go meet my mom and dad
Happiness has been upset lately
It's angry at my parents
It's angry at me
Happiness and I have lost friendship
It has been years now
I miss my friend
I hope it comes back to me like it used to
