smiles

there's something about seeing a smile on the face of the person you love,

and know that you were the person who made them smile,

and that same expression, of completely euphoric love, is mirrored on your face,

even just in photographs, that tell the stories of the past.

memories, frozen, smiles, so genuine they never become dull,

captured smiles that reach all the way to their eyes, and back to their lips.
