They were lit with sadness, and the forced expression of the contrary on his mouth would have looked comical to me if it didn't make my heart feel heavy. For a few moments I stared at him, almost sure his expression mirrored mine. It broke my heart. I didn't want him to leave. I didn't want to turn into a random image that floated in the pool of his memory. I didn't want to be the smile that squeezed his chest somewhere far away. I didn't want him to go. I wanted his smile to stay.
He had the kind of smile that made you feel happy to be alive and just that little bit more humanor at least since he mastered walking. Under that suit is a lithe body that knows how to play and his face backs that up. Within his brown and mobile face are eyes that twinkle. In just moments his mouth gives up on the stoicism his colleagues project, breaking into a boyish grin. He's a guy I can imagine having a beer with, so when the next cashier comes free I let the person behind me go instead. I want the man with the smile When someone smiled at me it was like for a split second everything stopped and their smile pierced through all the bad in my life and all was well again Smile that brings memories back is the hardest smile on the earth..
smile, grin, smirk, lips curled upwards, lips curved upwards, bright, sunny, beautiful, half-grin. Her lips quirked upwards in a joyous smile. gaily, half-smile, sneer, dazzling, sparkling, glittering, hideous, disturbing, frightening. He smiled cruelly but it refused to reach his blood shot eyes. gorgeous, blinding, adorable, charming, seductively, alluringly. She grinned to reveal straight, pearly teeth.
Her smile shone like stars after dark, with no city lights to dim them. For in that moment time stopped to stare and admire her. Despite everything she's been going through, she still persisted to smile and be the one thing that brightened up even the saddest of days or
Adam paused, head tilted toward the already black sky. The moonlight streamed down upon his wintry pale skin. He pointed to the moon, the shape of his lips reflecting the crescent above. "Finders keepers, losers weepers. There, it's mine. That's settled. How much do you think I can sell it for?"........................
It wasn't the kind of smile my co-workers wore to great customers, it was the kind of smile a mother bestows on her child when they help to pick up a friend who has fallen. I faltered. It was not a smile that belonged on his craggy face. Then it hit me. He was proud of the man I'd become. He'd posted my bail more times than I care to confess, but now as I stood covered in grease from a hard day fixing cars, dirty nails and bags under my eyes, he clapped me on the shoulder and passed me a beer or

"Your daughter smiles because she is a child, inside is pain and hurt from all that has gone before. It is the way of children. It is for the adults to know this and to show the kind of patient and reliable love they need. Only then can a child show their real selves, allowing the damage to rise to the surface. It comes in waves; it comes in times of safety, hiding beneath the giggles in-between.".,................
