 I thought you could
 be an influence of some sort,
 Because every time I saw that smile,
 a part of me wished I could be as care free as you,
 Every time I heard your laugh, I wish
 I could be able to express my joy

 Maybe you wanted someone 
 who didn't cry a lot
 you wanted someone who 
 actually smiled, 
 and didn't write
