For the price of a smile,
How much are you willing to give?

Can you walk the plank into the sea,
Only to fall into a wet mess?
Can you perform in front of masses,
Only to forgot the lyrics?
Can you spend time planning surprises,
Only to have it cancelled because of the weather?

Can you do all these and more,
Just to see her smile?
Days, months, sometimes years,
For a crescent on her face?

For me,
It may be a year,
Or just a day.
But for a smile,
"How long?", they said.
"No matter.", I said.
Just a smile from you, indeed,
For all I know that's all I need.

What about you?
What can you do?
What will you do?
Just to see them smile?
Just something I'd been pondering on in the past few days.

What will you do to see your partner smile? I don't mean a casual smile, but a genuine one. Are you willing to act silly, make time, etc? To go leaps and bounds just for a sweet smile of your loved one?

Can you do it?

She's a supernova
that trails stardust in her wake,
a constellation of contradictions
plucked from outer space.

And all you can think
to call her is
"pretty".
Basically ^.^

Grow a garden inside
your own soul instead
of waiting for someone
else to bring you flowers.
