A smile tugging at my lips

reluctant to hide away

and at the worst possible moment

it chooses to stay

i shouldnt sit here

smiling at your tears

i shouldnt be so joyous

about the discovery of your fears

i shouldnt let my heart skip

knowing i was right

i shouldnt let my eyes stare

at this touching sight

i shouldnt feel anything

especially when i know

i wear my heart on my sleeve

and all my feelings show

i try to look away

from those heart-wrenching tear stains

feeling my heart constrict

in unconcious pains

but i find myself so drawn

ny the fear etched on your face

subconciously moving closer

into your personal space

i slowly rub your back

not knowing what to do

having never been in this situation before

im left without a clue

i am fighting the urge

im fighting the storm

only to again encounter

your tall dark form

you reach out

you thank me

you pull me into a hug

i have no-where better to be
