Your Smile You Always had a wonderful smile.
You could've asked me to buy you just about anything in the world in exchange for it, And I would've gladly obliged.
All you had to do was smile at me, And I was head over heels.
Your smile Made me so happy, And I almost always got to see it When I came to visit you On that same green bench Beneath that same shady tree Where we first met.
But you had good days and bad days, Just like everyone else.
Sometimes I would forget that; You were perfect in so many other ways, So much so that I occasionally overlooked the fact That you were human And could go through struggles And experience pain Just like the rest of the world.
I liked the good days better (because of that smile), But on the bad days you opened up to me. On the bad days, Even though you would cry And carry on And worry, Worry, And then worry some more, You would always let me hold you Until those tears went away And the worrying subsided.
You would let your guard down And I would rock you back and forth In my arms And whisper sweet little nothings in your ear.
And sometimes, When you were feeling especially down, And I was feeling up to it, I would even sing to you softly.
You always told me you loved hearing me sing, Even if I was out of tune sometimes Or my voice cracked occasionally. Maybe I wasn't A crooner Or a first class performer, But I would do Almost anything for you.
Thus, the reason I sang.
I would brush your compliments off Like they meant nothing to me, Acting as if I didn't really care, But inside?
I was beaming.
So No, I didn't mind helping you out On your bad days, But now I wished you were having Less of those And more good days instead.
I wished you weren't sick Taken away Far beyond my reach With me powerless to save you.
I wished you were cured of that awful, Horrible plague, Safe in my arms Just like you used to be.
...Because I really needed to see your smile again.
