Smile
He doesn't smile anymore, at least not like he used to.
Most people don't notice, it's hard to unless you really look.
He still smirks,
when he's just done something he knows he shouldn't have.
And he still does that lopsided grin,
when he finds something amusing.
And he'll still give you a little half-smile,
If you try, but it's just not the same.
Nothing is the same as his smile, when he smiles it lights up the whole room. It's so infectious everyone else just feels compelled to join in.
His eyes light up with mischief and he shows of his perfect teeth and gorgeous mouth.
When he really smiles, it's perfect.
But not now, now he just acts out the smile, and his eyes remain lifeless and barren, as though he really couldn't care less.
Even as I watch him now from my own little table across the common room I can see that his smile is fake. He laughs for the benefit of his friends but it's not reaching his eyes, and there pretending not too notice.
And now he's looking over at me, must have felt my eyes staring for so long. And to my surprise he's smiling; not smirking, not grinning, but really truly smiling and it's reaching his eyes. So I smile back, and I honestly feel I could cry I'm so happy and relieved- but luckily I don't and I just smile back and hold his gaze until he eventually looks away to his friends again, the smile never leaving his face…
