Smile for me
Now that you're leaving me.
Grant me that Luxury
Leave me this pain
Spare me thy Memory
And I'll remember that smiling face
The next time we meet

If we ever cross our paths again
Will you still love me as I am?
Even if life has changed my fate
Even if you don't recognize my face
Even if you don't remember my name
And I'm a different person from the one you knew
You cared, You loved, You remember

Don't you?
I guess you remember.
Don't you?
I hope you'll remember

That I danced on that night
Without a song to put in my mind
Under the bright moonlit sky
The stars that never shined brighter than that night
In your arms I rest
My weary heart

I don’t know if you'll remember
I don't know if you recall
Something so special it happens only once
And it'll be never felt again
Even if the night is nice
Even if the breeze is cold
Even if the stars would shine
It would never be brighter than that night
Nothing could ever be brighter than that night

Than you.

Breaking up with someone you're so in love. But it had to be done. YOU had to do it.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
