A Smile

I've waited a long time to see a smile in my direction... Not just any old smile, but the kind of smile that makes you happy to the core and touches your heart.

(To be clear, I am not talking only a few weeks or months here... It has been quite a long while since I've seen that type of smile.)

Someone smiled at me that way for the first time last night. I am not entirely sure, but I had a feeling it was going to be coming at some point, but I'm rather surprised as to the "how" and "when". I think the fact that it was unexpected shook me to the core more than I ever thought that it would.

It felt wonderful, to be honest. I had forgotten how much a genuine smile could mean when it's directed only at you and no one else.

Groovy, huh?
