Smile

It is the melding of worlds,
we meet somewhere new and you bring your world and I bring mine.
Mingling flavors- just as long as the music lasts,

And then there is silence
and there is nothing left but the sound of your slowing heartbeat.

But your smile can light up the dark and hold me still,
and I can't help but smile at how quickly I can forget that just an hour ago I was sitting alone working on plans of world domination that always seem to fail,
I would give up, but since we've had such fun tonight I can start again tomorrow.
