Now Smile

I love you. I have loved you for some time now but I have just kept mum about it. I do not want complications, not again. If only you'd realize how much I have changed since. But, of course, you would not know this... or would you? I am now a new man, trust me, I have changed, thanks to you. You are the reason for self-preservation; my reason to change.

So let me love you from a distance; this is all I ask. If only you'd look my way. But that's just me, dreaming. It would never happen. But what if it does? I guess I'd be the happiest guy alive. If only.

In the meantime, let me just pray for your happiness. Everybody deserves to be happy, especially you. I wish you peace of mind and good health. Take care of yourself in as much as you'd like to take care of others.

Always remember that shit happens for a reason. Hang in there; life gets better. If it were just up to me, I'd never want to see you cry; I'd just like to see you happy. But sometimes crying is good, sadness is useful and, pain is necessary.

Don't worry, I'll be around to cheer you up, I promise. And finally, never ever think that you're alone and that nobody understands. I am here.

I love you. I know you. I understand.

Now smile, this is for you.
