Complete

Is it completely impossible to write about the immense amount of happiness you feel?
The happiness that starts tears during quiet moments.
The happiness that catches your breath when an ache that you've longed to fill is complete.

Complete is a word I have not felt in a long time.
Utterly, complete.
Surrendered to the happiness and love that surrounds me,
I collapse with gratitude.
It breaks me down into miniature pieces of utter and obsessive joy.

This feeling gets caught in my throat whenever I try to explain.
I tell people we are doing good, we are adjusting well, we are happy.

These simple words seem distant compared to the euphoria I am experiencing.
It cannot be explained so simply.
Finally
Finally
A longing, a yearning, a dream, a hope, a painful longing 

completely vanished,
I melt into a puddle of joy.
