this was about somone very dear to the actual writer, perhaps a child, and the fact that the smile is forever in his mind and memory is posibly because that he is unable to see what he remembers. it could be a child, re; your sole could never grow old its ever green. its become much taller and bigger in life etc. this could be a mothers love for her child , she may have been seperated from this child. its possible they might reunight, because hoping that you will understand thazt i will keep making the same mistakes is a unconditional aspect of such a relationship. this writer feels guilt and remorse but the love is not a condition of this guilt. when the time comes to place your hand on my beating heart is where it changes to a conditional love, because he is just thinking out loud. maybe we found love rite where we are is the begging of the question, hence ...i just want to tell you i AM.
