From my corner chair, I can watch you there, You seem so happy and wear a smile, I want to show that I care, but all I can do is stare, I feel so lonely and have no smile. The band begins to play, and you’re swept away, In the dancing I can see your smile, There’s nothing I can say, the music lasts till day, Holding you all the men do smile. I leave at morning light, I’ve watched you all the night, I’ll take the memory of your smile, I know that it’s not right, my courage is so slight, But I exists for the glimpse of a smile. I leave my corner chair, and you are still there, You seem so happy and wear a smile. Gloom 2K+1 |

Would the memory of her smile be enough for you? Seems to me like there's a 'part 2' to this ... Anyway, i really enjoyed this read! ~regina. |

Gloom, a million smiles would I gift if you would, but your eyes lift to see me waiting, waiting here past the shadow of your fear and smiles I've held just for you will be released before we through please look my way and simply see your smiles I seek so ardently.

Oh yes the extroverts of this world...they love to be around people....they come to life...they love all the attention...they dance and they sing and they smile..ha..and when they go home they are totally worn out and can be very boring at home...sorry just some of my own thoughts on relationships I shared with extroverts...lovely, lovely people...James |
