When people look at you
They see a happy man
As you unabashedly smile
And tell your stories:
People you’ve met
Places you’ve been
Things you’ve seen
Flavors you’ve tasted
You’ve always looked happy
No matter what you’re going through
Your unabashed smile remains
But I see your unabashed smile
And I know that it’s a little shy
I know that—
No matter how big or small—
New experiences still shake you
Though it’s not unabashed
Your eyes light up
When you smile your shy smile
Though not unabashed,
Though not perfect,
You still manage to smile
Your smile that’s still a little shy
And I know that—
No matter what—
You are a happy man, anyway
