New Reasons to Smile

Every time you turn around and show me you don’t care

They are like daggers to my heart I have come to bear.

Every time you leave my hand, I fold mine in prayer

Every time you come back, I move away little farther

Every time you come back only to go away yet again

They make me wary of even the times you remain.

Every time you make me cry for no fault of mine

It takes away the meaning from those rare smiles of thine

Every time you move away, I discover a stronger me

Every time you break my trust, I find a new faith in me

To let go, to step back, to hold my head high, to walk away

Every time you let tears fill my eyes, I find a new reason to smile
