A smile.
Just a smile.
That's all it took.
One friendly smile and I'm head over heels.
Is it right?
A smile and I don't know what to do.
Confusing myself.
Losing myself.
Trying to find the right words.
Tripping over my own feet.
Crimson cheeks.
Stuttered words.
Avoiding you but flying into your path, time and time and again.
I never learnt.
I never listened.
Is it right?
Just a smile and it's like everything you've ever done is erased.
Like every time you've ever hurt me disappears.
A smile and the slate is clean.
A smile to start afresh.
A smile and you're a new person.
I can't get away.
Can I?
Refusing to speak to you, avoiding your gaze, running from your voice.
Every time I fail.
You're just there, all the time.
Smiling.
