Winning Smile

 

Excited, exhausted

Twitter pated and tenuously hopeful

With nervous overtones

I turned onto Turia

Recognizing a terrace

I had only seen in pictures

From your perspective

Inside

Looking out

Now glimpsed

From outside

Looking up

Double parked

Hazards blinking

Fearful of letting

My heart do the thinking

Though not enough

To stop the music

Felt from afar

Leading me

For the first time

Into your arms

Incapable of controlling

The smile that widened

When your door opened

To invite me in

Gratefully recalling

A smile which always
Comes back again

Remembering

That moment when

We both let love win
