I SAW YOU SMILING

Smiling at the doorstep

twinkling eyes, a sigh

I can’t remember when I saw

you smiling, don’t know why.

Distance released your sadness

time made your laugh come through

all was written in the stars

but no one ever knew.

My doubts, my fears, my anger

were not supposed to be

but dear, oh dear, I wondered

so many times I wondered

if you came home to me.

I felt your restless body

your stormy thoughts amount

but spoken words just hurt you

confirmed the thoughts you went through

love couldn’t be pronounced.

Smiling at the doorstep

twinkling eyes, a sigh

I can’t remember when I saw

you smiling so closeby

just smiling so closeby.

Your doubts, your fears, your anger

they put a spell on me

I wondered, oh I wondered

how I could blow those hundred

or thousand things you concurred

away, to set you free.

You drowned a boundless freedom

no recognizing sign

between what’s good or bad

I couldn’t have it said

those words were only mine.

But smiling at the doorstep

your twinkling eyes, a sigh

I won’t remember our past

only today relights.

Distance released our sadness

time made a better place

all was written in the stars

and we enjoy our space.
