its hard to live in the moment when the past is screaming in my ear. i took last years smiles and put them in a box. i'll bring them out when i need to remember that happiness. i wouldn't let a thousand miles or a few state lines break my stride, but a simple mistake tore it all apart. that's just how it goes though. i'd laugh but its still too soon to be funny to me. sometimes i hate that all we have going for us anymore is love because so many people are willing to let it die so quickly. i could bore you to death with lines about giving up and breaking hearts but that's not really my thing these days. why contribute to the problem but offer no solution? i guess what i want is for everyone to make the best of every day you are alive. it's crazy how a mediocre day can turn amazing with a couple positive thoughts. i've got some smiles i'll be boxing up next month. i'll bring them out like old photographs sometime. i never want to forget the days that everything felt okay.
