You make me smile.

Just when you say hello.

When you say 'okay'

'thank you'

'good night'

'stay safe'

it makes me smile.

They say not to let one person become your everything.

But I didn't let you.

I tried my hardest to resist.

But no matter what I did,

you were my everything.

I'm not saying any of this is your fault.

But sometimes when you don't respond.

Depression hits me like a truck.

Maybe it's not depression.

Loneliness perhaps?

This isn't your fault.

But maybe

once in a while

say something

nice.

unexpected.

something funny.

charming.

kind.

all of those

will plaster a bright smile

on my otherwise solemn face.

but another thing

that just might work

if you'd tell me

just how many times

I managed

to make you crack a grin.

You smile,

I smile.

You see?

It's simple really.
