I once loved something
that was filled with evil.

And that scares me, more than anything.

Sometimes you want to force the tears out,
just so you can say you cried
over something other than him.

I opened my heart, and told him about the darkness;

now he has to sleep with the light on.

And he took my hand and said "I will never treat you the way HE did"

But I didn't believe him, because I had heard those words before.

And then he asked "but, how do you still find your smile when such dreaded things have happened?"



"Darling, a tear wont change my past, but my smile can mould my future"

And his eyes will always show up where you least expect them...

In your dreams.

We have walked on beaches, and kissed in the rain, held hands in front of friends, have our picture in white frames... and you wonder why none of it has worked.

But baby, the truth is you just can't force love!
