Definition : Happyness

Define happiness, you say.

A question worthy of wise kings’ indulgence.

I answer you in simplicity’s sake. Happiness is breathing in the salty smell of ocean tides and writing songs inscribed deep in your heart. Happiness is hearing that song you love on the radio, and singing the very notes that take your breath away. Happiness is being all you can possibly be, your true essence.

I say that happiness is found in the simple act of holding hands. Happiness is about singing in the shower and shampoo mokawks, in the midst of the cascades of chilling water. Happiness is the thrilling chord on guitar strings, ice cream in dreary summer heat, and running till your lungs are about to give out.

That, i say, is happiness.

“No,” you reply, and look into my eyes. “happiness is being here, standing here, with you.”

It is times like these where even an individual like myself is at a loss for words.
