Happy Now

I see you smiling from across the room


corners of your mouth curled

your nose wrinkled

your eyes sparkling


as you're reading from your phone


a text message, I'm sure

a few lovely words on a screen

capable of bringing that change in you


but I know the text isn't from me


and a twist in my stomach

blood stopping to flow

when I'm wondering


who is it now that makes you happy?
