Why do I smile?

Why do I smile?

A Poem by Kallima

 

Why are you smiling he asks?
Because I am happy I reply…
And he asks, why are you happy?
I see my smile reflected in his eyes
And can hear something different in my sighs
Can feel how much he cares in his touch
God, I want this man so much
I think of him and my phone will ring
And he didn’t even want anything
Just to talk to me, to hear my voice
I know when he called me he made a choice
And that makes me smile
He wants to be with me for a while
Conversing together, not about the weather
Real conversation, with contemplation
Hitting on a topic that’s not myopic
And knowing that if one of us interrupts the other, there is value in the comment so we stop to listen
Damn, did his eyes just glisten?
He makes me smile
When we kiss I close my eyes as our lips touch, finding each other naturally
I feel a chemistry
A positive reaction taking place in my body that causes so many things to happen on such a grand scale that it’s incomprehensible!
Leaving the only solution to this equation readable on my face
That can be verified, leaving no room for misinterpretation
It’s evident what’s happening…
I’m smiling again...    :-)
I can remember a time when people always asked me why do you smile so much
And my reply was always that      I   just   smile
Being a positive person is part of who I am and that reflects on my face
Right now I have a different sort of grace
And a new kind of smile upon my face.
