Beneath The Makeup & Behind The Smile I'm Just The Girl Who Wishes For The World. A Wise Girl Kisses, But Doesn't Love. Listens But Dosen't Believe. And Leaves Before She Is Left. If You Can Make A Girl Laugh - You Can Make Her Do Anything. It's Often Just Enough To Be With Someone. I Don't Need To Touch Them. Not Even Talk. A Feeling Passes Between You Both.
