They say smiles are contagious
But I caught on to you
Your spirit infectious
And I am no longer yearning to remain
Caged
I can't make you pay
For what has past
You make me want to
Soar above the clouds
Seek new heights
You
Break away the barrier
Of memories
Left by pain
Regret
And defeat
Since
Erased
By your honesty
Sincere grin
Humble eyes
Passionate stare
And
Never-ending embrace
You
Gave way to
Optimism
Now set in
I see you
For the man I longed for
The friend I craved to share with
Every moment in my journey
I welcomed you in
And you invade me
Providing support to my purpose
Supplying patience to my being
When I can't seem to make sense of it all
You
My clarity
The source of my happiness
And although I want to fight you
My heart needs to
Desire a man
Who puts for every effort
To make me feel beautiful

Never Ending Smiles

You know
I once thought smiles
no longer lived
in my world
no longer desired
just admired
and I stomached the shadows
cast by doubt
but
then you
gave me
never ending memories
bliss
and I can't shake this feeling
in just a few short weeks
you invest in me
things unheard
things deserved
things longed for
and I appreciate you
for trusting in me
and blessing me
with never ending smiles
if this is what you call ecstasy
my love is yours for eternity
