I Never Forgot His Dancing Eyes and Incredible Smile
He had no idea how funny he was
I knew, and laughed at all his clever ways
He liked that, and we became best friends
He told jokes. I laughed as if my guts were climbing out
You are a great audience he told me
Not with his words, but with his dancing eyes
His incredible smile agreed
We were best friends until my family moved away
I was lonely, sad, and morbidly depressed.
There is no instant friend when you are eight
Other children already have their friends
Girls especially do not open up their hearts easily to a new girl
I tried to pretend everything was okay
It was at night in my dreams as I sat
Next to my best friend and enjoyed his jokes.
I never forgot his dancing eyes and incredible smile.
