state of being

whenever you're riding the wave of 'euphoria & contentment',
does the thought of imminent 'crash & doom' lurk in the corner of your mind;
constantly nagging you to give it a cursory glance.
a constant reminder,
that happiness is short-lived?

i sound like a fatalist but i think happiness does not last forever.
i would like it to, but it was never meant to be that way.
i think, happiness goes through the same vicious cycle,
that sadness and despair, comes after it.
and if you survive the depression,
then you would return to a different state of happiness,
with the next despair waiting for you round the corner.

well, this is one of those secrets of the universe.
there is always a reason why we can't be in a state of euphoria forever.
and the positive side of me says, we can't always be in a state of despair forever either!

however, we can always try and make our being happy,
last as long as it can... :)
