you gave me that
"i know you want me" smile

& amongst the heat of the summer,
with flowers blooming on every corner,
the streets flooded with vendors selling handmade trinkets
& three layered icecreams to die for
i couldn't deny the fact
that indeed,
none of those things could even compare
to the look on your face

in that moment,
i truly could not have wanted anything
more than
*i wanted you
