Smile

This is a poem I wrote about a person who used to be the most trusted individual in my life. It shows the path we have taken over the course of about 15 years or so.

I smiled because I knew you loved me

I smiled because I knew you looked out for me

I smiled because I knew you would always be there for me

I smiled because you cared

I smiled because I still had you

I smiled because I wasn’t alone

I smiled because we would always have each other

I smiled because I cared

I smiled because not smiling caused problems

I smiled because if I did not I would cry

I smiled because sometimes we were good

I smiled because I had hope

I smiled because there was no choice

I smiled because I did not want to fight

I smiled because I had to

But now I smile no more
