Love and hapiness

It’s not being in love that makes me happy. It’s being in love with you that makes me happy.

Happiness… what is happiness? Happiness is a feeling; it is a gift we receive and something we can give to others. It is a song, a butterfly, it is the right butterfly in the right moment.

It is a whisper, a poem, a word placed where it belongs. It means feeling at home, feeling welcomed. It is an embrace, the taste of Crème Brûlée after a rainy day. It is someone who remembers our favorite color, a new job, an unexpected discovery.

It is being in the galaxy with you and looking at the stars. It's seeing all the universe and all the stars in your eyes while I look deep into them for hours at a barbecue party, while all the other people around are just far distant buzzing noises I don't care about as long as I see you smiling back to me....
