Tormenting Happiness
April 22, 2012
As you walk by,
A single smile,
Brightens my day.
Not directed at me.
Not directed at laughter.
It's clearly affection
From you to another.
Standing at a distance.
Now my heart is feeling weak
But remembering that smile
Some joy begins to leak.
For loving is love
Even when not returned.
But loving anothers happiness
Even at your own pain.
