I Cant Help It

When you are so far away,
I can't help but let my smile fade.

When nothing I say or do can bring you back,
I can't help be saddened.

When I speak but you can't answer,
I can't help but be silenced.

When I can see you but only for a short while,
I can't help but to long to see you again.

When you hug me goodbye and I have to let go,
I can't help but be hurt.

When your hurting and I can't be there to help you,
I can't help but be sorry.

When I talk of harm and make you feel helpless,
I can't help but feel as if I've done you wrong.

But when you smile at me,
I can't help but smile back.
