and it’s one thing to make you happy,
that half moon beam lingering on your face
efficiently magnifying its glory, an everglow

being the one to put it across
equals to an entirely different whole,
almost like a completely new entity
being able to do so is the feeling that’s left in your system
once the adrenaline wears off as you unwind after a very long day
that’s satisfying to your senses and your expectations somehow fulfilled
it’s like getting something you’ve crossed your fingers countless times in a row for
something you’ve wished for on fallen lashes
and every red car passing by as you wait for the bus
gradually, it defies the definition of precious
a reminder of why the color yellow is associated with happiness,
able to eradicate the dark clouds
surrounding the pitch black sky on your face,
streaks of sunshine hiding underneath
leaving a profound feeling of greatness
it’s seeing something priceless and being willing to do anything
to get views of it again and again

maybe i’ve developed a strong liking for your presence
and you
and your thoughts
your words
your perception
unconsciously it seems, you’re trailing my emotions along with you,
in the paths you take;
but i really don’t mind
and as long as you are, as long as you’re there
i’d keep betting on tossed coins and the vastness of uncertainty
to make you happy, to see you smile as many times as i could
lingering with the distant thoughts that maybe
i could be the reason behind those smiles
for you’re certainly the cause of this unfamiliar euphoria residing underneath my skin

-maybe these painted, unmasked smiles on your face could suffice for the unspoken
