![]() A Smile.A Poem by shiloh jennings![]() 11:41pm Feb 14/96![]() a smile, nothing more than a simple smile. you look at me and smile. from this simple gesture I read more than is there. the smile becomes the whole wide world to me. soon I can think of nothing but your smile. I eat, sleep, dream your smile. it is like an addictive drug. suddenly, I forget what your smile looks like. I go mad. I'm crazy. I need your smile.
a smile, nothing more than a simple smile. you look at me and smile. it's as if you knew I had forgotten. as if you wanted to help me out. this causes me to read more into it again. maybe you smile because you secretly want me. that's it, you want me; you think of me always. you want to share your life with me. I hear wedding bells and babies crying.
a smile, nothing more than a simple smile. you look at me and smile. I know that this is your way of confirming my thoughts. we are now connected, linked as one by your smile. I am drunk on the heavenly thoughts. soon it will be time, soon we'll be together. I stop and think. we need to get past our first words. I look at you. now's the time. I go to make my move. then I see the two of you holding hands.
a smile, nothing more than a simple smile. you look at me and smile and in that one instant all my dreams come crashing to the floor. © 2008 shiloh jenningsAuthor's Note
