The smile on my face, is because of you

Sometimes it can really take you by surprise,

this thing called emotions.

Just when you thought you couldn't escape

the hold it has over you...

you wake up one day and suddenly,

you don't feel a thing.

Maybe it's because you've found

something better to replace the feelings you have inside.

Maybe the hope that you lost so long ago,

returned by some twist of fate,

and now you're gripping on to it

for fear of losing it again.

Maybe you just realized that the world is so big,

and that God is so much bigger than it all.

Maybe you've been holding on to those emotions

for so long that day by day,

it slowly dissolved into nothing.

Or maybe you just... forgot.

In a way, it's good that people forget easily.

Some people just aren't as forgiving as others are.

I guess you could say that the only way

they could forgive was to first, forget.

I guess I'm just really glad that

I'm free from all the troubles

of being emotionally tied down...

free for the time being, anyway...

who knows when it'll come again?

right now, as long as I can look at you

and still smile... I will keep smiling...

for who is to say when that smile will fade?

One day, someday, tomorrow, maybe never.

What counts is that I did smile, regardless... right? :)
