I Smile For You

Mar 04 '09

The Bottom Line Love is confusing...

Why do I smile when I feel like crying?  I smile for you.
Why do I dream when dreams seem so unbelievable?  I dream of you.
Why do I laugh when I feel like screaming?  I laugh for you.
Why do I love when I feel so lonely?  I love you.

When you’re so far away, I can’t reach you.  Yet I reach out.
When you’re so quiet, I can’t talk to you.  Yet I talk anyway.
When you’re so angry, I can’t make you understand. Yet I try.
When you’re so distant, I can’t break through. Yet I make the attempt.

I smile, I dream, I laugh, I love.  I am me and yet it doesn’t seem enough.
I am the person you fell in love with.  Yet you try to change me.
I am getting stronger and more self reliant.  Yet you want dependence back.
You say you love me for who I am.   Yet you want me different.

We fight, we battle, we disagree.  Yet I still love you.
We are at a crossroads in life.  Do we stay or walk away?
I am so unhappy, lonely, and feel like giving up.  Yet I continue
I hope, I dream, I believe.  Yet I wonder if we can succeed.

So now things will change.  I will live for me.

Why do I smile when I feel like crying?  I smile for me.
Why do I dream when dreams seem so unbelievable?  I dream.
Why do I laugh when I feel like screaming?  I laugh.
Why do I love when I feel so lonely?  I am learning to love me and still I love you.
