Legs shaking, palms sweaty, but I still stood by your side
Because the kiss that followed was worth it
I nearly choked when you leaned in
Too afraid to close my eyes
Kissing you with eyes wide open
But so was my heart
Welcoming all your love
While filling every love deprived hollowness in you
Fear and doubt set in, worry took over, but I still persevered
Through it all
But you couldn't do what I did do for you
Not that I ever expected you to
Those sugar coated lies can be deceiving though
Just like your kisses
I want to go to a place
Where happiness runs deep into rivers and into the mountains
But sadness
It reminds us how wonderful happiness is
It helps us appreciate it more
Because I don't think we can even acknowledge we've been happy
Until we've been sad
Because then we can truly enjoy the moment
Because we know how horrible it is to feel sad
And we cherish every beautiful memory
The laughter
And every smile
Because sadness opens our eyes
It makes us realize
Where we were
And where we can be
And how quickly you can lose something
And I don't think you'd realize that
If you were to be happy your whole life
I think people would just take it for granted
Because they couldn't fathom any other emotion
They wouldn't know anything less
Or anything more
Life is about balance
Keep my photograph
So that you never have to let me go
Memories
Moments
Frozen in time
Our love is captured within it
Let me catch your smile
So that everytime you look at my photograph
You can feel that emotion spark up again
As if you're reliving it like the first time
Stare into my eyes
They still sparkle for you
I'll keep your photograph
So I never have to say good bye....
