untitled work by Samantha Grace Astronomia

how do you measure one's happiness?
is it on how you see them smile?
enjoy their friends' company for a while?
or party for tonic and gin and have a great time?

each day i get out of bed and do the usual thing
get out of the house and see the same faces
have fun with my friends
and hang out at different places

but when i come home at night, i look at the mirror
stare at the reflection looking back at me
i say I'm not happy
is this all I'm ever going to be?

I'm surrounded by a sea of people
and still feel alone
i can't find that someone
whom my heart yearns for

it'll be nice to have someone with you
to hold your hand kiss your forehead and slowly drift to sleep
that no matter how hard that tonic and gin hits you
you'll still have someone to hold so close and deep

to just sit side by side saying nothing at all
feeling each other breathe, hearing each other's heartbeat
to make you fall in-love over and over again
to make you feel that you are the most precious gem

he's not here, the one who holds my heart
he'll be with me soon but then again we'll part
i know when he comes I'll be happy once more
and i know that i love him 'till hell freezes over

so how do you measure my happiness?
it's when i feel my heart is looking for nothing else
but the one who completes my soul
