That stupid smile

Every time I think of you
That stupid smile appears on my face
Every second of every day Iâm counting down,
Taking life as a race.

I only see you once a week
Those precious hours of my life
And when you dont appear there
It cuts me like a knife.

Your face is the only thing I can see
Which makes tests impossible to pass
Cramming that stuff in my head
My marks are coming last!

If only you knew what you meant to me
And that I meant the same to you
And if you decided to leave
My life would be dull and blue.

I have this dream of you and I,
We are walking hand in hand
You'd kiss me on the cheek
As we walk, bare foot, in the sand

The salty breeze brushing my face
As the water washes over our feet
You suddenly stop and pull me down
And tell me to take a seat.

And then we would talk
For hours on end
Of fantasy stories and real life
After all you are my closest friend.

You'd tell me to watch as the white horses dance
At every breaking wave
Galloping slowly, then suddenly prance
Onto the sand, which is its prey.

And as the sun begins to set
Turning the sky a fiery glow
You'd pull me up and tell me
Unfortunately, it's time to go.

You'll tell me to jump on your back
With my arms around your neck
Your hands under my knees as we laugh all the way
Then you put me on the deck.

Taller than you,
I would be
As we hug one more time
Then you would say to me,

Good bye for now
Princess of mine
Be happy so that
the sun will shine

Then you'd walk away
And I would go inside
To find a letter
You always leave behind

What a perfect life
That would be
For the whole world
Both you and me

But that life is only a dream
The alarm clock ringing in my ear
Warning me that its not real
And Iâm to wait another year.

But every time I think of you
That stupid smile appears on my face
Every second of every day Iâm counting down,
Taking life as a race.

I only see you once a week
Those precious hours of my life
And when you don't appear there
It cuts me like a knife.
