remember

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
