involuntary

it's been far too long
since the last time
i haven't been able to stop
smiling.

like i am now.
grinning like the cat
in the most cliche
and ridiculous way

all it took was a sentence
who would've known?

next time,
i'll try to remember
that it's worth the wait
to get this sort of payoff

please my friend,
do pardon this rambling
for i'm trying to get you to understand.

when's the last time you felt like such?
blissfully happy.
not in the contented way you feel often
but in the
i'm screaming
i'm jumping
i'm spinning in circles
if only in my mind.

if only you could now see my smile.
and the joy in my eyes.
