                I

.

She didn’t just smile -

It wasn’t just an arbitrary grin,

The splitting of lips or

A throwaway expression - 

.

She smiled at him,

For him - happiness,

Joy - ricocheted into

His abrupt, and headlong direction.

                II

.

There was nothing for him to say;

She knew - by the way he blinked

In near sheer dumbfoundment, more shock

Than it might’ve been

.

Amazement -  

.

That she didn’t have to do anything else,

No grandiose gesture, no excess,

No gratuity.

From the moment she smiled

.

She could clearly see

.

That he belonged to her

Already.
