Happy-go-lucky Wannabe
I saw you smile,
Now, I'm smiling too
You say so many words.
I know you don't mean all of them.
When you say 'leave',
I know your heart would search for mine.
I don't want to be the distance that measures away from you.
Just smile at me.
I saw you smiling,
Now, I'm smiling too.
Then your face sold a different tune.
I should have avoided being in that frame.
When you say 'what' with the sternest expression.
I still smile because I know your heart will hurt for mine later.
I don't want to go through the stress.
So, just smile at me.
I saw you smiling.
Now, I'm smiling too.
'As much as it seems, that I'm yours'..
The sweetest part of those words was mine.
The former part was you wishing I'd still be there.
That I'll stay when I visibly erode that smile from your face.
But I'll still smile at you because you thought of me that way.
So, please, just smile at me.
