Crestfallen Smile

Like lightning falling from heaven, your last fling ended without warning Bewitching Boston Creole buxom beauty, your crestfallen smile told a tragic love story Superhuman strength from an unknown source moved you on your curvaceous Amazon course I watched from a low hanging urban perch as you floated with sassafras ease towards me Suddenly you stopped right in front of my eyes, and started looking around with sensual curiosity I fell from my heart stoop, lost in your rapt reverie In the delta of destiny, you found your new journey A rising tide of romantic hope swiftly over swept me Funny Valentine smile washed ashore next door literally

I LOVE "Funny Valentine", especially as sung by Rickie Lee Jones on her album, "Girl at her Volcano", which might be pretty hard to find. Are you sure you live in Kentucky?

Hello, everyone. "My Funny Valentine" is a famous jazz song. This is how he has changed her crestfallen smile into a funny valentine smile. From sad to glad. Appreciate everyone's comments. Keep 'em coming. Love and more love to you and yours. Romantic Warrior

Ty, Heidi. Didn't mean to be so cryptic ... but she has a crestfallen smile. She has had an unpleasant prior relationship that has given her a sad smile. In the end, she has a laughing, happy smile ... a funny valentine smile. The fella watching her has fallen in love w/her at first sight. This new love has made her smile again. Hope that explains it a bit better. Love and peace.
