happytale

I was alone, trying to make peace with the pain.

The pain was the only thing that never leaves me behind.

It stays. Longer than anyone. Longer than you.

Suppressed by my own fears, I take a step back.

Worried about your happiness, I take more.

And yet I still couldn't make a happy tale.

And when I know how to,

It was all too late.

You already have your own happy tale.
