Love may not be Forever, but Smiles Are

Smile to me
I'll smile back.
Because thats all I can do.

People come

and people go
thats just the life we go through.

I tell it short
and I tell it sweet.
So maybe you'll listen.

It's no big secret
I like you
and the way your eyes glisten.

I hope you know
I'm no different
than the next guy.

I'm here for a second
and then I'm gone.
I'll have to say good bye.

Not now, but soon this time will come.
and while I'm still here,
I hope we have fun.

I hope you know
that I won't forget.
any of this, not ever, not here.

But for your own good,
I need to spare you the heartbreak
and spare you the tears.

You're way too good for that.
I can't stand to be the one
that holds on tight, then breaks your heart.

I can't ever watch you,
because of me,
fall apart.

I can't lead you on
for something I can't
forever hold on to.

So, smile at me
and I'll smile back,
because that's really all
I can do.
