&quot;When you were born, you were crying <br /> And everyone around you was smiling.<br /> Live your life so that when you die,<br /> You&#039;re the one who is smiling<br /> And everyone around you is crying.&quot;

Why is it that when I look at you
I want to live a life full of love pure and true?
This dream has become threatening,
It intoxicates me, it's everlasting.

I await the day in which we are allowed
to be together forever, our love bound as we vowed.
You promised me that day would come
When we lay beneath the trees and under the sun.

I'll trust you forever and give you my whole heart
And know if it stops, you're all I will need to make it re-start.
Together forever, through good times and bad.
You're mine forever, no matter happy or sad.

The author's comments:
I know I'm "too young" to know what true love feels like. But, luckily, I come from a family with wonderful role models. I see the love in my parents' eyes when they look at one another and I know that's how I want to feel about someone someday, and vice versa. I didn't write this about any one person, just the made up guy in my head. (I know, I'm a loser).
