Optimistic Thinking Could End You

At least you left me with a smile.
Even if we had been crying for a while.
How to do it, I didn't know.
Somehow, I was able to let you go.

Even if I had a choice,
No one cared to hear my voice.
The only one who could hear it was you.
Still, your opinions were ignored too.

So they packed your bags and took you away.
I've thought it my fault til this very day.
Maybe they didn't want you around someone like me.
The kid living on the streets, with a conscience so dirty.

So you left and reluctantly our ties were severed,
But our goodbye was not supposed to be forever.
Still you drove away, growing apart every mile.
...At least you left me with a smile.
