Smiling
They were there smiling. Smiling from thousands of miles away and smiling right there next to me. And their smiles made me want to smile, although I never thought that would be.
I never thought that it would be good to see them smiling next to somebody that wasn't me. Because both of them had once told me that I'd be the only one to make them smile, forever. That made me smile, but then we stopped smiling. And so we stopped thinking about smiling forever.
But they are smiling again today, and they are smiling next to somebody that isn't me. The smiling ones that aren't me, they're the ones that make me smile because I know that they're smiling exactly where they're supposed to be.
