I watched you today.
The things you did.
'Today it's my turn'
You said.
Your turn to fool around.
You said you
Were trying to
Make me smile,
Trying to make
Me laugh.
You succeeded more
Than you realize.
I smile when you're
Just in the same room
As me.
Where I can see you.
I smiled today
When you said
That you were going
To the beach,
Thinking how much
I wanted to go.
But all I could do
Was smile.
I couldn't get myself
To ask if you
Wanted company.
One of the drawbacks
Of being shy
I suppose.
So I stopped at
My favorite place,
Since you know
Where that is,
In hopes that
Perhaps you would
Stop there too.
But you didn't,
So I'll have to wait
A few more days
For you to make
Me smile
Once again.
