I didn’t know how Infectious a smile could be, Not until I saw the wrinkles on your cheeks curve into thick lines Like the cursive ink flowing from a lovers pen. The corners of your mouth began to rise like the morning sun, your eyes reflecting the stars hidden behind a blue sky. Your joy found it’s way to me somehow, right when I thought it was impossible to forget my headaches. Your light transformed me into a city scape. All was forgotten for a few seconds, As I admired your laughter from afar. All was remembered when your eyes started glittering, And my heart came back to life. You were there, clothed in your sorrow, Yet dancing hand in hand with happiness Forgetting time, coming alive, and full of joy
