Smile Like You Mean It

 

Fire flicker

Free the mind

Tear trickle

Rip the heart

From its normality

And

Conformity.

Meet you halfway

Down the corner

And whatnot.

Meet you where

The sun can always

Shine.

Meet you where

You make

Me smile.

Meet you where

Others don’t care

(Or rather

They do

But not skeptically).

Meet you where

Our minds meld

Permanently

Into one

Soul

Where two

Really do become

One.

Meet you where

My book ends

And yours

Starts

As it should.

Meet you where

“I love you”

Is enough.

Always

Enough.

I love you.

Fire flicker

Tear trickle

Rip me apart

Then I can

Start again.
