but who knows

maybe i'll

through the earth

and end up in

hell

when i saw your

smile

for the first

time

and my heart

sped up

a little bit

not because you

were beautiful

though you are

but because you

looked happy

and i wanted

that kind of

for me

when i told you

things i had

never told

anybody

in my

life

and it persisted

as i fell asleep

thinking

of your eyes

thinking of the

way

i wanted to

make you smile

for everything
