SMILE
but could it be at me again?
freckled love interest
I'm sorry I was scared
and I can't promise I wouldn't be scared again
if you gave me a second chance
but gosh my green jealousy is so deep
for whoever gets your dappled smirks now
SMILE
yes, you!
the one with eyes like lake rain
(and sometimes ocean fog)
oh, you're always smiling and it doesn't matter at who because it's beautiful anyway.
even when you're serious, your face is like a perpetual grin
you are the lighthouse of reason in a roaring sea of intolerance
I adore you
SMILE
you are so quick to shield it!
it's amazing
like a spreading galaxy across your perpetually scowling face
popcorn quick, they disappear fast
whoever gets them must be special
because they are a rare sight
SMILE
you left me stranded
was it something I did?
oh god, was it her?
that thief of good things
(i miss you sometimes
you and your heartwarming grin i loved so much)
SMILE
your freckles dance too
but not quite like his do
they are more subtly waltzy
as you giggle over your
clever nerd joke
remembering your endless beams
are sort of like unfolding a photo
you've been unfolding for twenty years
it's a little white at the creases
and brown on the edges
but the essence there
like your essence is here.
SMILE cause you're beautiful
SMILE cause I love you
SMILE because I think you're cool
SMILE because I'm your number one fan!
who knew the galaxies that converged when you bared your toothy
smirks
grins
simpers
SMILES.
