Countless Smiles

My smiles are countless,

Until a frown appears,

Then the tears tend to not disappear.

The loneliness is bearable,

But the sadness seeps into my soul.

How long before my heart leaps,

To the sound of a voice,

To the sound of steps,

To the flowers blooming in my room, 

To the late night calls,

Or good morning love.

How long before a dance to a song,

Or a walk on the sand.

Then there's the breathless kiss,

The anticipation of a touch,

The flirtatious looks,

and the sexy curves.

For at this moment,

the sadness seeps into my soul,

but the light wakes me up,

It wakes me up,

to a wait long overdue,

and knowing that it was worth it,

for you.
