  Just Give Me a Smile
  06-06-2026

- Faruque Sayed, Silkeborg, Denmark Give me a smile, baby- the one I’ve chased through restless days, the one I’ve waited for so long. Just give me a smile, the smile that turns heads and steals hearts, the one so many have hoped to earn, just like me. Your smile changes everything, though you guard it on like a precious secret, saving it for someone worthy. Just give me the smile you hide as you walk away, the one that lingers in the air long after you’re gone. The thrill is in the waiting. The magic is in the moment when your smile finds me and lights up my sphere! One smile from you, and my defenses fall. It quiets old heartaches, awakens forgotten dreams, and turns my worst days into stories untold. Just give me the smile that could silence every war, the smile that could teach the world a gentler way to live. And if, by any chance, that smile is meant for me, I won’t ask for kingdoms, fortunes, or forever! Just stay a little longer, let your eyes meet mine, and let that smile become our beginning. The one I keep wishing for is the smile that says, “Come closer- I’ve been waiting for you too.”
