I once believed.
My smiles outnumbered the stars.
You entered my life.
And I discovered I was mistaken.
For those smiles equaled.
No more than a handful.
Of hard candy.
The day you entered my life.
Was the happiest I'd ever been.
With you my smiles increased.
Truly outnumbering the stars.
I believed you would never leave.
That we'd be together for all eternity.
Alas you vanished.
With you went my smiles.
How dare you steal my smiles.
Leaving me with only a frown.
My frowning soon increased.
Far more than I ever imagined.
All too soon my frowns exceeded.
My smiles and the stars combined.
It's taken years yet I've managed.
To replenish my smiles.
Now it no longer matters.
That you stole my smiles.
For I will remember.
The countless smiles.
These lips formed because of you.
