When I Think of You

"You can shed tears that they are gone,
or you can smile because they have lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that they'll come back,
or you can open your eyes and see all they are left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see them,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember them only that they are gone,
or you can cherish their memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind,
be empty and turn your back.
Or you can do what they'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

When I Think of You
By Kelsey Belinski

When I think of you
I think of the smile that always sat on your face
Even in the saddest of times.
When I think of you,
I think of the way we used to laugh and have fun together
And it makes me wonder why
Why you had to leave
And why you couldn’t stay
Even just for one more day
And if I had one more day with you
I would tell you I love you
And mean it
But when I think of you
I see your face in the mirror
And smell that smell
You always had
And when I think of you
It starts to make the whole world kind of sad.
