EVER CHANGING

A small difference in you makes a big difference in me.
The smile you bear will make me happy forever.
The laugh you laugh makes me cry and never stop.
The tears, happy ones.
The happiness, unreal to me, will always be present.
My heart is filled with the happiness you gave me and,
I'll never pour it out.
The tears are a food for my soul.
My soul was hungry, yesterday,
But now it will never grumble again.
My tears continue like an uneaten feast.
Like a waterfall that will never get rid of its water.
I will never forget you.
You are the sun to my earth.
You give me more than can ever be taken away.
