From the title, I’m assuming that it’s self-explanatory. When I get the urge to write nonsense…I’ll post it here. Hope you enjoy whatever it is you want to enjoy : )

She never smiled.
It was always like that. It was always like her not to smile at all. She stood shamelessly apart from the crowd, her careless beauty enrapturing anybody near her. Her dark tresses whipped against the wind, facial expression straight. No, she never smiled. I remember her piercing cobalt eyes drawing me in, “Why do you want me to smile?”
“I’d like to see you happy,” I cleared my throat, fingers tightening on the steering wheel. “You’d look more beautiful.”
She hesitated and then gave a short nod, attention turning back out of the window as she watched the green meadowy scenery blur us. She had heard this talk before, she knew what I had to say. I knew her answer, but I’d never throw in the towel to see her smile again.
“There’s nothing to smile at.”
“But you’re happy.”
She appeared startled for a bit, her lips tilting upwards for a slight second as it collapsed into her typical apathetic gesture.
“You can never be only happy,” she whispered.
My fingers drummed the steering wheel, deciding not to
interrogate her even more. For now, a ghost of a smile would have to do.
