Was it easier to pack your bags
And book that flight to Paris as
The plane began to move, that afternoon
and when they go, they're gone
may you return to love one day
well I hope & I pray
you get what you gave
(Morning Song, The Lumineers)

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

William Butler Yeats

Happiness: happiness of unconditional love, happiness of company, happiness of being understood, kissing happiness, happiness of nostalgia, happiness of letting go, floating on happiness, happiness of reminders, happiness of finding the perfect words to express what you mean, happiness of doing exactly what you want exactly when you want, happiness of seeing things for the first time, happiness of things that are static
Sadness: sadness of being misunderstood, sadness of love without release, sadness of not knowing enough words to express what you mean, sadness of having options, sadness of confusion, sadness of finishing a book, sadness of remembering, sadness of forgetting, anxiety sadness, sadness of feeling the need to create beautiful things, sadness of moving too quickly, sadness of laughter that’s not infinite
