Comments on 'And When You Smile, Think of Me'I'm leaving you soon, here among the flowers. I've got a long journey ahead of me, on a long and dusty trail. So in case I don't get to see you for a while...
Stay here, among the flowers, the friends you've always had. But wander when you feel the urge. It's important to get lost sometimes. That's how you discover. Remember, Christopher Columbus thought he'd arrived in India when he bumped into the U.S.A.
Keep a heart full of hope. Without faith, you could lose interest in life very quickly. And we're too dear friends to have you slip from my fingers like grains of sand. I need you hoping, praying, wishing for me. I'll do the same for you, whatever it takes.
Watch the stars at nights. See how they shine? Heaven's just beyond them. If you stare very hard, you may be able to read what's written in the sky. Nothing, sweet, is impossible.
And when you smile, think of me, for I'm smiling, too. 2008-01-06T14:32:51Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/17704Comment on And When You Smile, Think of Me<p>Ya, it reminds me of someone who is leaving and writing this to those they are leaving behind. It has a happy tone on the outside, but on the inside it has sadness. Not despair, but calm, peaceful sadness, if that makes sense.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17704?basename=330582008-01-06T14:32:51Zflute faeriehttp://ficlets.com/authors/user_6061Comment on And When You Smile, Think of Me<p>This wonderful! I agree with pens, this does make me think of someone who is “moving on” from life and letting those who are left here that one day they will “meet” up again. I love it! I really really do.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17704?basename=330532008-01-06T14:17:55ZJenuniquehttp://ficlets.com/authors/jenuniqueComment on And When You Smile, Think of Me<p>This has the same sort of happy, loving, hopeful, but at the same time saddening feeling of an ending that is present in many of the songs I’ve been listening to. “Send Me a Song” especially came to mind. I quite liked the piece.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17704?basename=329702008-01-06T01:46:43ZStorykeeper of Faehttp://ficlets.com/authors/smileComment on And When You Smile, Think of Me<p>Aw, this is so sweet, but there also seems to be a sadness behind it. It almost conjures the image of someone who is dying, giving advice to the one’s they’ll leave behind.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17704?basename=329552008-01-06T00:44:30Z[pens&feathers]http://ficlets.com/authors/rhapsodyyinbluComment on And When You Smile, Think of Me<p>That was beautiful. I feel a stong sense of calm and peace after reading that. There’s something truly bittersweet about this one.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/17704?basename=329492008-01-06T00:22:55ZKasumiRosehttp://ficlets.com/authors/kasumirose
