In search of her laugh

The sunset looked a tad more crimson,
the waves a darker shade of blue,
The world reflected in her eyes,
provided a whole different view.

She smiled the most enchanting smile,
her enthusiasm bubbling as always.
the sea calmed down listening intently,
Her voice enchanting the passing waves.

She was right by my side,
and yet somewhere distant too.
Something holding her back,
Something even she never knew.

The trace of sadness was soon quelled,
by a smile for everyone to see,
She laughed her usual laughter,
her body exuding a positive energy.

She would smile with her face,
and her eyes would follow.
But her laugh lacked conviction,
starting strong but ending hollow.

She looked out to the horizon,
and I prayed that she find soon may,
The one thing that would bring back her laugh,
Bring her back that truly happy day.

Till then in vain I see her smile,
hoping that a laugh it will soon be.
The happiness in her eyes I know,
will one day turn into pure ecstacy.
