Smile, a poem.

By Stephon Ross


Smile.


From that first friend request

First text exchanged

There was a smile.


Getting to know each other

Exchanging numbers

Made me .. smile.


Corny text messages

Opening up to each other

And there it was, that smile.


Laughing at myself

Thinking "Why does she like me?"

Bam, a smile.


Talking on the phone

Venting to one another

There was a smile.


Setting arrangements

Meeting up to hang out

A big smile.


Meeting parents

First kisses

Huge ass smile.


Play fights

Cuddles w netflix

There. Was. A. Smile.


"I love you."

"I love you too."

SMILE.


Confessions

Regrets

Where's the smile?


Break ups

"Moving on"

No smile.


Heartbreaks

Anger

Not even a smirk.


Giving up

Moving on

No smile.


Learning from defeat

Growing to succeed

That smile came back.


Being Independent

Working on me

I smiled.


Smile.
