Smile

I could have stood out there in the darkness Close my eyes and wait for the light of day There were those things that you knew about me I wasn't comfortable in that glaring light I had walked both broad and narrow roads And it felt like I was all alone I wanted to stay out there in the dark I wanted the night, the falling dew to cover me Then maybe I wouldn't feel so incomplete I didn't mean to spurn that open door From where your solitary light streamed I was in love but I felt so alone You smiled, opened my eyes, I hadn't seen you You were sure, but had your fears, I was afraid You took my words, those unworthy trinkets Made them into everything great and quaint Don't close that door, I will come in when sure Just smile and I am not alone Written on 03/16/2017 Removed it, now am reposting it
