Smile for me, please?

He smiled at me...
   Hey...that's a start, right?
It means, He's noticed I exist.
I can breathe again,  I hadn't realized I held my breath until I sighed

My mind races a hundred miles a minute
   What does his smile mean?
Is he just being friendly?
Does he want to know more about me?
Might he love me too?

We'll take it slow,
   though my heart says "No!"
It's sometimes foolish and greedy...

I smile back...
   Hey...it's a start, right?
