i'll be your crying shoulder
little girl with that fiery hair and ice blue eyes, smile for me one more time. don't you understand that you're beautiful? watching you in your sleep takes my breath away out of love, but you take my breath away also out of fear when i hear the worry in your voice. sometimes you ask me questions that make the past rise like a nightmare out of that place where i've fought so long and hard to bury it. (this honesty wrenches my very soul apart.) answers don't come easily, but still i know what's true.believe me when i say you're beautiful. oh, believe me, believe me, please believe me. and smile for me once more before you sleep tonight.
my heart is yours always.
