Soft Smiles

soft smiles

soft smiles aimed at an unknown face
this world spins so fast, it's hard to keep pace
a blink of the eye can seem like eternity.
you laugh, you cry, you smile, you die.
all in the blink of an eye.

soft smiles aimed at someone other than me
yet, i'm still here. does anyone notice?
you're still pretending like what you're doing makes a difference...
why don't you make a difference in my life, and notice me?

soft smiles aimed nowhere...
you look and recollect, but do you care where they are now?
yet we still take the time to pose for pictures,
soft smiles aimed...

soft smiles aimed at lense,
sums up a person with a shutter and flash.
soft smiles we see, and we can pretend like we cared;
pretend like we made a difference.
but the question really is: did we?
