I don't like it when you're not smiling
It reminds me that you're not immune to sadness
That sometimes there isn't anything to smile about
And that maybe only sadness has a place in this world
I don't want to believe people like you are unhappy
People who live a life led by their hearts
People who put others before themselves because it wouldn't feel right any other way
People who have already gone through so much hardship and always seem to come out stronger for it
When you're not smiling, it reminds me that people like you usually only smile because people like me rely on it
I rely on seeing you smile, the while knowing all you've had to endure
Just knowing you can still smile and laugh and live brightens my world
You make me see a hope, that no matter how dark it gets I can hope that there will always be a day where I too can smile and laugh and live a life lead by my heart
No matter what
