When you see me smile, you think its because something…
“When you see me smile, you think its because something funny happened or I'm happy. When you see me cry, you think its because I'm sad. When you see me blush, you think its because I did something embarrassing. When a conversation has to do with who I like, you think its some guy you may not even know. But that isn't it at all. When I smile, its because of you. When I cry, its because you're not with me. When you see me blush, its because of something having to do with you. When there is a conversation about the guy I like, the conversation is about you.”
