I Smile

They say thay know me

from a glimpse in my eyes

They claim to know what's in my soul

but all I hear is lies

I bask in sunny weather

with ringing in my ears

All their hopes and all their fears

This is what I hear

The sun will rise and I will bare

The fading moonlight in my hair

But I think of him...and then I smile

Oh my God, it's been awhile

Riding swiftly, riding til dusk

succumbing to nothing, only my love

Still hearing them laugh and whisper

All those secrets, on they linger

It's a long hard ride back to where I started

gaining all those lonely miles

I tune up to cry after all I've lost

But thinking of him..I smile

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I had never felt that way about anyone and most likely never will again. Then I think of the time we were lucky enough to share...and I smile.
