Where did you hide your smile
Is it beneath your tongue or did you hide it on a drawing you made years ago
Is it trapped behind the glass of a framed picture
Or did you hide it in a shoebox under your bed
Where you keep all those objects...
Ticket stubs, poems, pebbles from the seaside we visited
I wish you left your room more often or at least you allowed me to visit you
You said the odyssey of our lives could be more than an oscillation between the things We didn't choose
Therefore I shouldn't worry about you
When we were kids you used to give all your favorite toys away and
I thought maybe this is what happened to your smile
You simply gave it away
I asked your parents about it and they told me that they did everything they could
I asked your friends about it and they told me
It's impossible to help a friend with depression
You used to gift your smile to everyone so proudly until the day you didn't
The memory of you radiating happiness is fading
The best poems are hidden under a bed in a shoebox
Maybe like your smile
Yesterday a stranger smiled at me
I smiled back at them
And for some reason, I knew
Dear Friend
I wrote this poem to tell you
That I found your smile
