Don't Look Back

You taught me to be brave
You taught me to be strong
Even though you're gone I'll get along
Your heart always welcomed
Your face always smiled
And your hands always held on to mine when I cried

You're the one who taught me to stand
By myself just because I can
And you told me I was worth something more

So when you were leaving
I tried to keep smiling
Cause you're always laughing
In my memories
And when you remember
The me that you once knew
I want you only to see
A loving, smiling me
To the end

I know that you need to
Find the road meant for you
I know this is something you must do
I promise you'll find her
Someone who is better
And if you need to forget, then don't remember

You're the one who taught me to stand
By myself just because I can
And you told me I was worth something more

So when you were leaving
I tried to keep smiling
Cause you're always laughing
In my memories
And when you remember
The me that you once knew
I want you only to see
A loving, smiling me

As you were leaving
I just kept on smiling
For all that you gave me
For all you'll give yet
And when I remember
What we left behind us
I will be glad that we met
And I will never regret
Loving you

Author's Comments

I wrote these based on the song Yan Lei Xiao Le 《眼泪笑了》 by Jade Liu. The song's original title means "The Tears Are Smiling".

Jade Liu sings it in Chinese, and I fell in love with the song, so I wrote an English version, which are the lyrics above. Keep in mind, this isn't a translation, so it doesn't really maintain the original meanings. I did, however, try to maintain at least the original feelings and ideas.

Written over the course of summer.
