this man without a smile
While most people
walk past me—
you cared to stay,
paused,
and looked at me
for a little longer,
in a meaningful way,
as if there was something
worth seeing
You gave me a perspective—
helped me open up
walked with me,
sharing the vibe,
being a part of me
You are part of my
self-discovery—
the journey I might
share with you
You are special
to me
