Half Smile

-->

 I see you there, as I walk in. 

You smile your smile I know so well. 

I can't help but smile back. 

Knowing that your smile was meant for me. 

We exchange "Hello's" as I walk past, with you always asking how I am.

I quicken my steps as the color reaches my cheeks-- 

and warmth flows down to my toes. 

Once I'm free from your sights I slow my paste, 

 find my breath that you stole with that smile. 

I collect my nerves and finish my shopping, 

but I still feel you glance at me-- 

as I walk down the ails. 

At times I catch your eye and smile. 

I can't help but wonder why you're still with her

I want to ask if you feel what I do... 

because I know there's something there. 

but I try not to dwell to long on those thoughts 

Our time is so short. 

As these thoughts are racing through my mind 

I look up and find your beautiful eyes watching me. 

I smile at you and look down, 

So you don't see me blush. 

 You have a power that you hold over me. 

A power which you don't know you posses, 

but to see you smile at me can make me forget all the problems of life. 

In that moment nothing matters 

In that moment I feel alive. 

I want you and I want you to want me 

But I know their never can be an "us" 

I grab my bags and look one more time at you 

Look at that smile you smile only for me.

Looking into your eyes and give you a half smile, 

because I know I'll only ever have half of you. 

So with that half smile, I drop my head and stare at the floor-- 

as I walk away once again without you.
