The Smile

Thought of you
today
A smile crossed
my lips
As I stood in line
Ready to order
My noon meal
And ready
To enjoy my meal
While thinking
Of you,
When a glance
By a fellow,
An out-of-towner
No doubt
Followed me

He caught my eye
Two or three
Times more
As he
Watched the smile
Flit across my lips
As I thought of you

Perhaps thinking
It was for him

But all I could do
Was continue
To smile
At the thought of you
Being told this
And knowing that
In reply
You would only
Kiss my lips

And the
Out-of-towner
Could only
Watch me
Smile

Cool...while the stranger only has your smile, your heart belongs to the one you love!

I enjoyed reading this. Reminded me of when I smile thinking of the one I love and people wonder??? Why is she smiling??? If they only new the power of what I was feeling.

You left me with a smile also! Lovely flow to this Lady In White.

Lady--A simple thing like a smile is pretty intricate, isn't it? Loved this!

No doubt a bit of risk, but when love is deep, what else can one do but smile at the very thought of it. Nice poem, even makes me smile deep within. It also makes me think of a phrase in a book that spoke of a character whose corners of the mouth nearly met behind his head. Now, that's a smile, isn't it.

haha....I love the ending!.....I often think of things like this. That women see me smile and be friendly to them and they think I'm wanting to be with them, but they have know idea how content and happy I am with the lady I already have.
good poem!
