You smiled at me.
How can one simple upper turning of the lips completely disarm me? How can it make me forget where I am? I don’t know how, but it does.
You kill me with that lopsided half-moon of yours. The stars sparkle inside your mouth, and they dazzle me till I’m dizzy. Why do you have that power over me? Why you? Why can’t I satisfy my magic carpet fantasies with a complete stranger? No; it has to be you. You and your Curve cologne, your waters of Ephesus eyes, and your I-take-in-the-whole-world grin.
I don’t care how cheesy it sounds; I love the way you control me. If you’re not there, everything loses its luster. But when you’re there, ah-now that’s when life is right.
I know that you know I love you. I can see a small glimmer of it in your eyes every time our gazes connect. It used to be in full view for all, but it’s taken a backseat on a hurtling roller coaster ride of emotions for now.
I know you’re having a hard time; I am, too. I miss you. I want you back, seducing me with that squeeze of the hand and that luminous light of love in your eyes. Even though you’ve told others differently, I see you’re still struggling over me. You can guard yourself, but just like before, I've found another crack and started to open your inner door. I peek in through the doorway, and I know you will come back.
I smiled at you.
