You Give Me A Reason

Did I Ever Tell You...
Why...
I Laugh?

No,
It's Not Mainly Because,
I Hear Something Funny,
Or Do Something Entertaining...

It's Because,
It's The Only Way,
I Can Really Hide.

Before I Met You,
I Had Everything To Lose...
And Nothing To Gain...

So I Smiled,
Smirked, Grinned,
Whatever You Wanna Call It,
To Disguise Who I Was.

I Was Afraid Of What Others Would Think,
And To This Day,
I Still Am.

But You...
You Give Me A Reason.

I Smile,
Not To Hopefully End Our Chats,
But Because I Love Your Company,
And Wish You'd Never Leave.

I Laugh,
Because I Actually Feel The Emotion,
And Because Sometimes,
I Need To Stay Strong,
So That You'll Want More Of Me...
It's Not So I Can Just Walk Away Faster...

I Do These Things And More Now,
Because I'm Showing Who I Am.

Showing What And Who,
I'm Interested In.

I Just Can't Help Myself...
To Be Honest.

I Don't Want To Depress You...
IJust Want To Be There For You.

Hun,
You Are My Reason,
Why I Smile,
And Why I Live My Life,
Out In This Cold World.

I Love You.
Remember That Always.
