The Girl

Happiness is like a disease
a good disease.

But there was this one girl
who was immune.

I tried to smile at her
but no smile back.

I tried to make her laugh
but no giggle.

I tried to make her happy
but all I received was sadness.

One day I decided to ask the question that I told myself I never would ask
'Why are you never happy?'

This little girl replied with an answer I didn't expect
'How am I supposed to enjoy life when its music never brings me to my feet?'

I thought about this
then I answered her question,


'Then change the music'.

I looked into her eyes,
and I received a facial expression I haven't seen on her.

She smiled.
She laughed.
And I received happiness.

It's basically about this one girl I'm really close to, that I wish I could cheer up more often.
