A Smile Is Worth a Thousand Words

Once upon a heart string, I wished with all my might that you would turn and see me smiling in your sight. You entered through the door of that long time ago. I willed you look my way, naïve in doing so. I wished you as my friend, and I a friend to you but I was enrolled this very first day, as new. You lightly walked across the room to sit with us, began talking topics you wanted to discuss. I couldn’t speak I was so insecure, quiet, and shy, A bashful smile was all I could silently reply. I asked some years after, why you went the extra mile and you replied because I was the first one to smile.
