Smile

I see you there
With your contented smile
With your joyous laughter
Meant to come from her aura
Of love and satisfaction
But do you know happy?
Does is caress your face?
Does it hold you close?
Does it know your embrace?

Drop your facade
I can see through
Keeping it all in
Is good for few
I tried to stay
To make you smile
But in the end,
It was not worthwhile
Now as a friend
I want to assist
But how much can I do
If you turn away, or resist
I wish things were easier
I love you, my friend
You need to be told:
In time, it will need
But until then,
I want you, I need you,
To smile.
