A Smile
When I see her smile
I know I can’t call it genuine
Everybody else might,
Might mistake it for
Someone who is always
Smiling, but don’t realize
That she’s hiding behind
This mask, scared.
She doesn’t want to let
Anyone see her scars
That fall from her eyes.
She’s good at hiding
It behind a smile,
But when I’ve done it too
It’s clear as day.
I don’t know why but
I really want to get to know
Her. For her. For everything,
Everything she is, will be, or
Has been in the past.
I want to get to know her
Because not only does my
Gut say but my heart says
That something about
Her is right. Something,
That I don’t understand.
So hopefully one day,
I’ll get to see her for all
She is. Maybe one day,
I’ll call her a bestfriend,
My bestfriend, girlfriend,
Partner, Lover, Wife.
But who knows for sure.
All I can say for now is,
That she’s hiding,
Hiding her scars and tears.
But at least with a beautiful Smile.
