a genuine smile is a very rare thing to come by

there's the hello, i'm being polite smile,
the fake smile you give grownups when they talk to you,
the photograph smile,
the smile you give a bad joke in order to avoid offending the teller,
the awkward smile exchanged between two people who haven't crossed paths in a while,
the phony smile put on only to convince the rest of the world that everything's okay,
and many more smiles that seem almost like obligations
but a real smile only comes from one thing
that is,
love

and i can't feel it.
