Pretend to Smile

That day, all I could do was smile,
Pretend everything is okay.
But nothing feels right
Now that you've gone away.
I know you're not far,
The drive's not very long,
But I can't help but cry
When you are gone.
I know you had to leave
And I had to stay here,
But I can't hold back
These damn painful tears.
I need you beside me,
To kiss them away,
To hold my hand
And tell me itâ??s all okay,
You're always on my mind,
I wonder how you've been.
There are too many days
Until I get to see you again,
I'll sit here and cry
Writing all that I feel,
Hoping that sometime soon
My dreams will be real.
