Chapter 2 - POEM : 2 Your Smile is Honestly Illegal

I need to ask you something,

And I want the truth this time…

How is your smile even allowed

Without being considered a crime?

Because every time you do it,

Something inside me goes weak,

And suddenly I forget

Every word I was about to speak.

It's not just a smile…

Don't try to act innocent now,

That thing you do with your lips

Should come with a warning somehow.

Like seriously—

"Caution: may cause unexpected feelings,"

Because one second I'm fine,

And the next… I'm lost in your dealings.

Do you practice that in the mirror?

Or does it just come naturally to you?

Because if that's effortless,

Then I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

You smile like you know something,

Like you've already figured me out,

Like you can see right through me

And still choose to stick around.

And that's the dangerous part…

Not just how good you look when you smile,

But how safe it feels

To stay there for a while.

I tried not to stare,

I really did try to behave,

But your smile kept pulling me in

Like a wave I couldn't escape.

And don't even get me started

On that half-smile you do,

That slightly teasing, slightly soft look—

Yeah… that one destroys me too.

You probably don't realize it,

Or maybe you do and just pretend,

But every time you smile like that,

My heart forgets how to defend.

So if this is your game,

Then I should warn you as well—

I'm already losing

And I'm not trying to break the spell.

Because honestly…

If loving your smile is a mistake,

Then it's one I'm ready

To repeat for your sake.
