Contagion

I smile

its huge

its spreads and reaches my eyes.

I laugh

again I laugh

....and again I laugh

giddy and restless with waiting.

I bite my bottom lip

but yet my happiness

coughs through my lips.

I have to close my eyes

for appearance sake

I don't know what to say

Should I let you see me this way?

my chest collapses suddenly

when you turn your body fully to me

its hard to fight this feeling--see--

I tremble uncontrollably!

do I want to stop--no.

I love the way you make me feel!

and smile, and laugh.
