They lived for his smile.

It was contagious

Smiling and laughing and making people

The best they could be

Always taking care of others before himself

His brother loved to look up at him as a role model

His mother adored him from head to toe

His teachers never complained

His friends cherished him

Then it was gone.

He graduated

School was done and he had his life to live

Summer came and so did the feelings for him

He shared feelings for you too, he never said it though.

You were going to tell him but you couldn’t.

What if he never felt the same?

July 4th comes around.

It’s an amazing day

Waking up late it’s the peak of summer

Until you get a phone call

He’s in the hospital

He’s going to die

What? He’s just graduated

Rushing to the hospital all you can think of is his smile

The way you always blushed when you saw it

All you want is to hear his voice and see his smile that everyone knew

One last time
