Caught Smiling | A Poem About Attraction, Wit & Unexpected Chemistry
you say something
sharp enough
to make me laugh,

not cruel,
just clean.
a quick turn
that lands
a second late

I look up,
you wait
just long enough
to know I’m listening,
then there it is again:

that bright edge
under the charm,

and me,
caught smiling
before I know
I've been caught.
