obviously

was i not looking?
not really looking?
or did i just not recognize 
what was staring at me?

perhaps there were reasons this time 

that made it confusing…

obvious when you think about it
all there for the world to see 
the sparkle in the eyes 
the curve of the smile 

it was happy 

that’s what it was 

ah, i have known this moment 

repeatedly 

go

go be happy 

grasp it tight 

with all your might 

don’t regret a thing,

and go
