i tell yall not to be. i tell yall i still smile.

its not silent between us.

off and on we've emailed each other.

after my first response to her she wrote back, told me it almost made her cry.

other things were said. it's not that she doesn't want me around. it's that she wants me to leave so i won't get hurt anymore. she's afraid of that.

we're talking now.

or we were. she just got really quiet on me.

i tell yall thank you. i tell yall thank you for smiling for me.

many miles away, it does help a part in me.

i tell yall things turn out ok.

just give it time.

and keep on smiling.
