I Forget

Posted on by J🍏HN

“Tell me if it’s why it is,
or why is it?
I forget,” she says

“Then tell me
Why is it you’re smiling?
I can see it on your face
And what’s behind your back?
You’ve been hiding it all day

Say it to me nicely
In a way you won’t regret
I know you have a gift for me
That much I won’t forget”

He pondered for a moment
Then looked her in the eyes
Wiped away a tear that formed
Trying hardest not to smile

“I like you like
Those clouds above
That form within the sky
That leaves us feeling happy
When we watch them drift right by

I like you like
Our friends at school
That we chase after we have class
But I guess what I like most of all
Is that you’re smiling at me back.”

She smiled until her eyes had teared
Then kissed him on the cheek
Laughing as she ran away
And yelling out, “You’re it!”

What’s Good

It’s the cheers from the crowd
That make it a game
Or a play that stands out
That gives you a name

It’s the lessons learned
From those that care
That make you strong
And want to share

It’s the smiles and laughter
From a friend
That will keep you happy
Till the end

It’s the feeling you get
From a hug and a kiss
That down the road
You know you’ll miss

It’s the sound and lyrics
From a song
That stay with you
When days are long

And as I go through each new day
All that’s bad I throw away

And as I go on living like I do
I’ll save what’s good to give to you
