This morning I saw you stacking weights.
My sleepy eyes still opening.
I moved hesitantly toward you.
So much fear in me.
Noone has your face or your gestures.
Or whatever that is that I cannot pinpoint, radiating off you.
Certainly noone can bounce the way you do.
This morning my fear served me well.
For when your face turned and met mine,
I didn't see one smile.
I saw three.
Each one magnificent.
The first featured intimidating dimples and brow.
The second exposed your teeth and inner joy.
The third curled the lip and the vermilion border.
I felt pulled inward, as though every instinct leaned toward a kiss.
Your good-looking boyfriend was only metres away.
Even with him there, the pull remained.
I'd never seen three smiles in one sensual mouth.
This girl you are, blessing the morning with your three smiles in one.
