lokisshi:

You know how we all want the person we care about to be happy? And we tell ourselves that no mater how, no matter who or what makes that person happy, as long as he or she is happy, that’s all that matters? But the truth is we don’t want them to be happy because of someone else or something else. We don’t want them just to be happy. We want them to be happy because of us. We want to be happy together with them. That’s why is hard, when that person is happy, but not because of you. It’s hard, when someone else makes that person happy, and you are left behind, as sad and lonely as always. It’s hard for you. But you say nothing. Because the other one’s happiness is more precious and you don’t want to ruin it.
