Thats how love is.

I watch those tears roll down my cheeks,
I watch them leave a smear.
Like I watch you slipping away from me
leaving behind those years..


I decide to smile,
Not cause I'm happy.
But cause I want you to be.
And I know where it lies.

I will put on that smile,
no matter how hard the tears roll.
Not for my selfish gain.
But for that smile on your face.

I know how it is to be yours,
and now I know how it is to be not.
I loved you like my own once,
I will love you like a stranger now.

I will not wait for you,
cause that isn't your choice.
I will watch you go,
hoping someday I will know- thats how love is!!!
