We Smiled

You turned to look
I fixed my gaze
With all the pains and guilts in between us
I hope they all melt away
Coz time has taught me how to forgive
To let bitterness slip my firm grip
To crush my pride into humility
I closed my doors, I closed my life
I wanted you out of sight
The more, in reality, I sheltered this emotion
Love--if the world may qualify it
Although my hopes keep on killing me
What would life be without it?
Let past be past
I rest the case. I set aside.
Coz now you smiled
I'm ready to smile back
Let both worlds be happy
Either together or apart
