You Taught Me How to Laugh


by Michelle Raiford (15)

searching
I found you
you made me smile
you made me happy
you taught me how to laugh

and when I found you
you and all your perfectness
your splendor and your glory
I smiled at you
you smiled back

and then I loved you

(I still do)

I smiled at you
I shared my secrets with you
you looked at me like I was perfect
you made me happy
you completed me

and you saved me from myself
you made me forget my problems
you made them disappear
you made me forget everything but you
you made me perfect

and then I left you
I am a better person now
now that I know I'm strong
I know I can survive
my life is better now

I can laugh without you
