Want of happiness

Unless I myself love you,
I cannot love you
Simply because you love me.
Unless you yourself love me,
You cannot love me
Simply because I love you.
Even if we love each other,
It cannot be expected
To be exclusive to us.
With the scenario as these,
We live in search of happiness.
It is a wrong notion to think
That we are born to be ever happy.
