Smilling with a heartache

I cry at night....
I smile by day....
And I Thank God I fell in love....
Fell in love with a man who is presently with someone else....

There are just things that might fit you well yet for some may be shattering, and vise versa....I just never thought that falling in love, and getting a heartache will do for me.

Lately, I have a lot to thank God for. Primarily, though I'm stuck in the house while my friends have their works, I'm given the opportunity to stay with my grandmother whom I haven't spent my childhood with. Secondly, I get to do what I've always wanted to do-to write and hopefully be heard as I've always wanted to try submitting my works at a certain publication.

In my case, I was faced to an obstacle to realize that those who took the courage to love is indeed blessed to see the promises of better days ahead rather than crying all the tears of pain at night.
I am uplifted at this very moment as I write this. I consider myself as lucky to have loved and gone hurt for in it I saw the strength I kept hidden, and the opportunity to face my fears in getting hurt. I've always believed, and still do, that the one person who can make you smile the most can also be
