Smile

I smile each day. 

Even though there is a part of me that is hurting ... I smile. 
I think of you and smile and while a tear falls from my eye ... i smile.
My heart feels like its missing a piece, you stole a part of me and yet ... i smile.
I remember you telling me you wanted to stand in the fire with me, but you're gone
you told me that you wouldnt leave, you werent going anywhere, but you're gone.
AND even in that knowing ... i smile.

I smile because YOU have inspired me to be an amazing woman, i smile because you believed in me, i smile because you KNEW me and i didnt have to tell you much about me or what i liked or who i was...YOU

SAW

ME

and now you're gone, and I still smile.
