When You Smile At Me

Inside of you I see, a beautiful, beautiful child,
and when you smile at me; my heart does sing
a sweet melody, when you smile at me.
It is like the touch of an ocean breeze
that brings me such peace.
I hear the waves of the ocean;
crash so gently when you smile at me.
The love that I feel for you
makes me tremble to the core.
When you smile at me, it is like a rose
coming into full bloom.
You have touched me so.
When I try to touch you back,
you stab me; you stab me
with your prickly thorns.
For you say you love another.
You come to me in confidence and then you pull away
as if I never knew you.
I feel tattered and worn, I find myself constantly
pulling out your thorns.
And then you say you love me,
but then you never stay, I have never felt such pain,
as when you walk away.
Once again you smile at me and I have never felt
such peace, and my pain, I soon forget.
If only you could know the joy you bring,
when you smile at me.
Not to be with you is tearing me apart,
and not to know your love for me,
is as acid dripping through my heart.
