Your smile. Remember when it was just a smile? It was just a curl of your lips when you were happy. It wasn’t worth thinking about. Now it is.

Do you know your eyes almost close when you laugh? …It’s indescribable.

Do you notice the way I laugh? Or the way I smile at you without trying? How about the way I try to catch your attention with references in the hope that you’ll smile?

I really like your smile.

And a smile… a smile so simple it requires only the simplest of words, yet so beautiful it requires a poem. You like big words, but isn’t simplicity okay?

It’s all so simple. The way I laugh when you make faces… uncomplicated. And the way you laugh back… effortless. And the smile I give when you can’t see… undemanding.

But your smile. Oh, your smile. It’s stunning, delightful, pleasing, charming… cheering, encouraging, heartening, promising… fascinating, enthralling, and completely intoxicating.

But is it so hard to say simple?
