Smile For Me

my first steps
into a new life
one no longer filled with
sorrow nor pain nor strife

uneasy feeling
in my soul
my minds still reeling
will i ever feel whole?

i fear there will always be
an emptiness inside
a vacancy in my heart
but i can no longer hide

i'm learning what it's like
to be on my own
to make my own decisions
to follow the path i've been shown

fearful that i'll make
the wrong decisions
worried with each step i take
i'm being lead by blurred visions

do i listen to my mind?
when it tells me to go..
or do i listen to my heart?
this is what i need to know..

my mind tells me
it's the logical thing to do
my heart tells me
that i can't live without you

which one is right?
with this i have no clue
should i stay and try to fight?
or just say goodbye to you?

no one here to guide me
the decision is all mine
a decision that is killing me
for i'm walking a fine line

i wish i could ask you to
give me a reason to stay
but i know that's something you won't do
because you're trying to find your own way

no matter where this life takes me
you'll be right by my side
in my heart you'll always be
the love has never died

until we meet again
you'll always be on my mind
my dreams of you will never end
i hope happiness is what you find

as i turn every corner i'll think of you
the memories i'll always treasure
i'll see your eyes so blue
and the smile that gave me so much pleasure
your soul so genuine and true

i'll miss you more than words can say
your laugh, your hands, your eternal hope
i'll think of you each and every day
my love, that's how i'll cope

smile for me
just one last time
so i can see
the love that once was mine
