With the curtain of my crescent smile,
I'll hide my heart's window to a cloudy night.
Oh I'd smile a million times again for you,
I won't let my eclipsed sun
Dull your starry night.
Remember when we were kids of eleven,
And I didn't let a drop rain from the twin clouds,
When you had won and I'd lost?
You knew I wanted to cry that moment,
Not because I lost to you,
But 'cause I'd lost to all those pretenders.
However you also knew, how happy I was,
Because You had won.
And every time I was faking that smile,
I made them believe it was real.
Hadn't I told you, 'When I play a game like that,
I play it to win'.
Yet you saw all the craters in it.
So yes, let them ask me,
Why I won't show my 'real' emotions?
Maybe 'cause I can be happy and sad at the same time.
And I chose to be happy for you.
I will choose that a million times over,
Even when it'd hurt twice as much,
Even when stakes are higher, a lot higher,
Than a debate contest in middle school,
I'd still choose to be happy, for you.
And now that you're a world away from me,
For what seems like a lifetime,
I don't want to smile today, if it's not for you.
I regret every moment I let fly
When you were within my reach.
No, I dont want to smile today, if its not for you.
But happy birthday my love,
I will make you smile today,
Even if its through that glass screen.
But please know, I wouldn't have smiled,
If it wasn't for you.
I hope in life you touch the sky,
Love what you do and create what you love,
And shine like the fire you will ignite.
