Believe In My Smile

"I can't only write of sad things, or
I might start believing that its true,
and I don't want to become sad,
even though I'm not with you."

So every now and then I'll write
of happy things, things that make
me laugh and feel good and smile,
and perhaps those that read my words
will start believing in my smile.

One of my friends called from L.A.
just the other day and said she
wanted to spend some time together
in December when I fly to L.A.
I've been missing that girl,
looks like she's been missing me,
thinking of all the good times we
shared, is nothing but good for me.
Smile.

sad all the time is sure not good but it does make for some good poetry

as you know, I've never been into happy poems but hey, things change

December is not far...hope you have a great trip!

Funny, I never thought you didn't smile. I guess I thought that someone who wrote so eloquently about heartache knew how to celebrate life too. I still think that.
