Have you ever had your heart stop?
That moment when you realise
****, this is love
But you know it'd never work?
2am and it hits you
Like a freight train off the tracks
You're stuck there
Frozen
Real pain in your chest
Because it can't be real
Not this, not her, not now
But you know it's true
You've loved her since the day you met
Just felt like a different brand
What do you call it
When you'd die for them
When you'd **** for them
When you'd drop everything
Just to be there
When you can't lose that ache
When your eyes light up
At the sound of their laugh
When their darkness sets in
And you feel helpless
Because you're 1200 miles away
And don't know what to do
When you smile ear to ear
Because she's found someone
Who brings out that sweet laugh
That's love
That's deep, painful, undeniable love
She's not perfect
She's so far from it
But she's so ****** interesting
A history you can't stop listening too
That quiet intelligence
The one your not sure she knows she's got
The softness in her eyes
That rough exterior
Hiding the kindest soul you've ever known

Smile.
Smile for the world.
Smile.
Smile to pretend it doesn't hurt.
What's life without a little pain
Without it, they say there's no gain
What the hell's a mental health day
The words your boss will say
So grit your teeth
Beg the demons to hide away
Break. Break. Break.
When it's more than you can take
But don't you ******* dare
Shed a tear out there
Your brain isn't broken
You're just lazy
You're just crazy
So Smile.
Smile through the pain.
Smile.
Smile through the tears.
Smile.
Because you're expected too.
