Keep Smiling

Lost in secret kisses, Her heart was not as resilient, As it would be one day, Not so far away, When he turned from her – Leaving her heart by the wayside, Trembling with ghostlike stones, plump From the darkness that betrays, Feelings still alive, yet would they… Know when he left, to just listen to his footstep, Across her life, over her mind, beyond… In her thoughts where there was only a knowing When he was going, her heart was growing… Even though she couldn’t explain, she knew, He was leaving, but despite her grieving… Her life was changed, rearranged, Left without a reason, in a new season… Lost is secret kisses, Would he one day miss her? She was sure that this would pass, And, at last, she’d find her smile, Amid the stars glittering in the skies, On the broken heart of night, Where moments turned to light… Joy felt so bright… still, she’d sigh, Trembling with the truth… he’d gone, Leaving her behind felt so wrong, Yet, here she was… silent, in the dust, Starlike reflections surrounding her, Making her smile, for a while… Lost in secret kisses, amid stardust wishes, She would smile, for a while – Just smile… inside, where she wasn’t just a little sad, Where her heart was breaking, bad… Yet, she smiled and said, forever will soon agree, Only a little while and she’d come back…. Smiling, on the inside… smiling… Because her life was a light, sparkling in the night, A quiet light, pouring out insight… Remembering those secret kisses who remind her…. Why her love will survive… always alive! Like her smile, just like her smile.
