Do you believe in love at first sight?
No?
Cause I think now I do.
I think I'm in love even though
I know so little of you
The way your face lifted its cheeks
The way your eyes revealed joy
And the way your lips stretched
And curled into a smile with perfection
I never thought I'd ever witness,
For I never knew such a thing existed.
I'm enlightened.

It's like a virus that's extremely contagious,
I felt the symptoms and filled with joy
I showed the signs and reflected that smile
I'm excited.
Excited to see where this infection will lead
Excited for this disease progress, manifest
And take over the totality of me.
I'd test positive, ironically I feel positive
For this sense of joy you've brought me
Is just what I needed. I need it.

So I hope you wouldn't mind
If I make it sort of my mission
To make you smile in whatever
ways I can think of, be it in small actions
Or little jokes and gestures
And I hope you understand,
If I hope to keep seeing that smile
The things I'll do cannot be grand
For I would have to risk not witnessing
Perfection for a while.
