Your Smile
Ariana Sigel

Your smile
Brightens my day
Guides me through the darkness
But the light has disappeared

I hold you close
To make your fears fade away
Making tomorrow a brand new day

As the sun rises
I will still be there
Whispering softly in your ear
“I love you.”

I feel your heartbeat against my chest
Your brown eyes look up at me
While your face dries from a river
I see your smile again
That guides me out of darkness
The smile that has been hiding
From the pain that was put unto you

As dawn comes through the window
You lean into me and the world stops
You touch my hand

And your serene, tender, voice
Says to me
“I love you too.”

And I stay there for a little longer
Just to see you smile.
