there is no sound more beautiful than your laugh
no smile as bright as yours

a thousand diamonds glistening - that is
your smile,  
the sound of a thousand waves kissing the shore - that is
your laugh

when you smile I can't help but try to offer mine in return, it is not a thousand diamonds glistening
it is not beautiful, doesn't even begin to compare
to yours
but I hope my smile does the same to you
as yours does to me
(even though that is impossible)

knocks the wind from my chest
how much I wish to be the reason for
that smile
but I am not

the reason for that breathtaking smile
is a breathtaking girl
equal to you in happiness and beauty
I cannot compare

but if admiring you from afar is anything like loving you, please don't forget me
when the breathtaking girl has long left your mind, remember me
remember our friendship
remember my smile
remember my laugh
(even though they are not beautiful)

because it is so unfair for you to be running through my mind all day when I know that
I am an almost forgotten memory
