Please, remember me, happily, by the rosebush laughing.

You crazy fool, I won't give into you.

I want to do a whole post on smiling soon, but I tried to do that just now, and it's not the right time. I do want to talk about one particular smile, though; one of my favorites. It's the shy mischievous smile of strangers. It's the smile you share at parties from across the room. It's the smile you give when someone has caught you doing something particularly and innocently sexy, and it's the smile that lets you know the other person noticed. It's the smile for when eyes meet in the grocery store, or passing on the sidewalk, or behind the teacher's back. It's the smile of pure physical wonderment. The smile that means everything but implies nothing. The smile that could lead anywhere or nowhere, and the smile that reminds us that any destination will be okay.
