The other day

such a long time its been

since the last time you spoke to her

and when you did

you tell her your sorry, for everything

 

she bursts into tears

and she tells you she missed you

that she kept her promie

 

she no longer cuts herself

shes fighting her depression

but she can no longer smile

shes been fakeing every smile, everyday

ever since you crushed her heart and left

 

you said you miss her

that she never looks your way

but she dose

 

she always sees you

always hopes the best for you

she always worries if your alright

she has always cared for you, and always will

 

she looks after you from afar

if you need her, she'll be there

and she wants you to know that

 

she saw you the other day

she wanted to go up to you and talk

to hold a conversation of stupid, unimportant things

just like old times

 

but when she saw you smile that amazing smile of yours

and you were laughing and talking those new friends of yours

you seemed so happy

 

she was lost for words

she has tried countless times

but each time, unable to speak to you

 

the other day, she walked away when she saw you

when she looked back, your gaze peirced her soul

it sent shivers down her spine

it froze her in her tracks

 

recovering quickly and turning away

she quickening her pace and left

 

you asked her why

you wait for her answer

what seems like years were mear moments

she answered

 

her answer was in spanish

she choose to use this language

a language you could hardly understand

and told you in a whisper

si camino, para me... si no te veo, hacme que te vea...

she told you

 

you, not understanding, told her to smile

to stop fakeing

to make those smiles real

that life is to short for sadness

and thats why your smileing

 

she wipes her tears away

she smiles at you

and tells you you desirve to be happy

and shes grateful you still in her life

the other day, she may have walked away...

but thats one  of the things she most regrets

 

Author's Note

what she said in spanish means " if i walk, stop me... if i dont see you, make me see you...
if only he understood... *sigh*
i should have said it in english for him to understand me.. -Athena

So sad. Unfortunately, the line was lost on me, but I kind of wished I paid more in Spanish. It's just amazingly written.
