The Key To Happiness

By: Matt Riechmann

Your eyes are like a gateway,
Leading deep into your inner soul,

But locked they are,
Waiting for the right one to open them,
To lead you to the greatest joy of life,

A joy that can only be shared between two people,
A feeling that is unlike any other possible,

But there you wait,
Wanting to find the one who holds the key,

The key that will open the gates to neverending joy,
The joy you have been waiting for all your life.

But afraid you are,
Afraid that once the gates are open, it will lead to pain,
Afraid that once the pain starts, it will never end,

But what you don't understand,
Is that with all the pain,
Happiness with prevail,

The joy of finding the right one
Will heal all the pain endured.

In the end,
You are left with one thing and one thing alone,
You are left with the greatest joy of life . . .
Love.
