Smile

for an untitled sequel of Be A Man

Your smile is perfect.  It lit up my life. 

Every time I saw it, my soul was in harmony with yours.  The space between your ears made perfect with that smile.   Accenting your bright eyes, your sharp nose, and strong cheekbones, your smile was your best accent.

Your smile is a lighthouse.  Bringing life to the harbor, without it, everything perishes.  Greeting every ship safely, that’s what you deserve.

Your smile is a work of art.  Capture it and hang it in the Musée du Louvre.  Like the Mona Lisa or the Venus de Milo, it should live forever.

The first time I saw your smile, you may not have thought it was perfect.  I sure thought it was as it hid behind the gates of correction.  Straightening the whites like perfect rows of corn.  The metal shining from your mouth tasted like heaven.  Different as it may be, I saw through the temporary imperfection.

Once freed, your smile could fully illuminate the world.  It put a smile on my face.  Erasing all the pain and sorrow.  Your smile was and still is just perfect.

As the light from your face created a perfect direction of hope and dreams, a man like me could not dream to see a smile like yours. 

Simply beautiful, simply great, I couldn’t describe the words, as I sit here and write the perfect words to say to the one I treated so wrong.  I hope the words don’t go unheard, as for years you have been the one that I never thought I could express the words I feel.  The one that possibly… no, undoubtedly got off the hook. 

As I look at your smile and understand I couldn’t fulfill your dreams as one should.  I never thought I would feel the way I do. When I saw that smile, I knew I had to say something to you and explain how I feel today because I don’t have a tomorrow. 

Your life is good, but I hope it’s great as I try to tell you that the world deserves to see your grin. 

Your smile is perfect.  I can’t fully explain what that means. 

Having a photographic memory of such a photogenic smile brings happiness to my mind.  Keep smiling for yourself and everyone around you, because that’s what you deserve. 

Happiness!  Your joy and contentment is what I care about, but your smile is a superpower I wish you would use for my enjoyment. 

Keep smiling for the world, even though it doesn’t deserve it.  Your smile is amazing as the world should know. 

Never give up on your hopes and dreams, and keep smiling for you and for me.
