Smile

Waiting for your smile

Has been my daydream

You have been that one

I look at you and I know something

That I don’t know

That you don’t know

So smile

Let me close your eyes and open your heart

I’ll give you things you’ve never known

Never felt

Never heard

Never tasted

I can be your one

That one to hold you

To save you

My eyes have been blurred

By the everyday visions

But I saw you

And my poems made sense

My thoughts came together

My tongue was no longer tied

My tears were dried

My eyes could see

Clearly

Your voice is like music in my ear

So can I ask you a favor?

Will you hold me?

Can you be that one?

Will you just smile?

My daydream is you

It’s all I can think of

You’re my new poem

My new inspiration

You cause my tears to produce ink

You cause my heart to be the paper

And I write about you

You are that one

And I can be your one

So smile

Smile
