A Tale of Lost Laughter

In days gone by, a friend so dear, 

Brought joy to life, made everything clear. 

With smiles that shone, like sunshine's gleam, 

And laughter, a melody, a joyful dream.

But then a change, a mystery unfolds, 

His smile faded, his laughter in cold folds. 

Quiet and sad, no words to say, 

He turned away, drifted far away.

Your laughter, a song I miss so much, 

A lyric of joy, a magical touch. 

Your smile, a beacon, lit up the space, 

But now it's gone, leaving an empty place.

Once the king of giggles, now so quiet, 

Hardly a laugh, a sombre, silent riot. 

I long to see that joy again, 

To bring back the sunshine, dispel the pain.

What happened, my friend, I wish to know, 

To understand the reasons, to help you grow. 

How can I bring your smile back to stay? 

And make your giggles dance, bright as day?

Let's find a way to turn the tide, 

Bring back the laughter, side by side. 

For in your smile, the world found light, 

And in your giggles, everything felt right.
