The smile that took my breath away

Oh my love, 

We sat together at a table for two

And we ate ice cream together.

I found out that you hated blue,

And I liked anything white,

Because that color displayed hope.

You had to ask for a bowl of cherries.

and say: I'm eating you, Cherry!

I've never been very good at making jokes,

But you seemed to laugh at everyone.

And, Oh, my love, how happy that made me.

My love, I'm about 40 pounds heavier that most girls,

And that has always made me feel conscious,

So i ordered only one scoop of chocolate ice cream.

You had to leave after two hours,

And i stared at you outside the ice cream parlor.

You looked at me with a hidden smile.

And My Love, you hugged me.

I understood how teddy bears felt when they received hugs,

Like you're special, 

And the person hugging you cares about you a lot.

Thank you, Cherry, you said.

You kissed my cheek.

But my love,

Is it weird that I've been holding my cheek all the way home?

Is this reality; 

Am i fixing you?

Am i being your savior?

I think I know the answers these questions.

Because my love, you smiled today,

And it was like the whole word lightened up

Dare i say, my love,

I was the reason for your smile.
