SMILE FOR ME

It used to just be the mystery,
The puzzles I found in your eyes.
It used to be the moments
I'd glance up and see your face,
so sad...
It used to be the way you walked
and how you smile...
But then I saw
both sides of you.
I saw the grin,
on the other side.
The side that tells me all about you.
There's so much to tell...
I saw the energy - saw it?
I felt it!
It's such a reality,
it moved out to me,
and I felt it.
I see the sadness still,
but I know that's not all.
You are such a beautiful - beautiful what?
I don't know the word!
I can't believe that for so long
I only saw the pain.
Now I think I'm seeing you.
