I need you to be happy. I need one of us to be happy.

About This Quote

As you read this, you may find it strange that I would need someone else to be happy. After all, I have just said that I love you and that my happiness is linked with yours. And yet, the statement itself implies that if I am not happy, you are not happy either. Hmmm…I guess I am feeling a little bit selfish today. My happiness is linked with yours so much so that if I am not happy, neither are you.
