As I Stand Here

As I stand here, I see you walking with her
Your hands entwined in hers
I only wish that I could be standing there with you instead….

Your smile lights up my whole world
But I know it is impossible for you to ever actually be smiling at me
I can only hope…

You enter my dreams with a smile on your face
And as I sleep, I start to smile too
But once I wake up I start to cry because it was all just a dream

As I stand here I say good bye
I look at your smiling face one last time
You will always be in my heart, just somewhere where it no longer hurts…
