I caught her smile
as quickly as the silken bubble
enclosed her breath.
It hovered for a while
over the perky waves
of laughter
and then burst.
It must have collided
with a tongue-tied rock
(one I had tossed into our lake
a word or two ago).
She giggled, “I was aiming
for your nose.”
“You’re so cute” I blushed.
She got my heart instead.

this is a delightful read that i would not change one bit, it is very imaginitive and has a lovely feel to it, full of youthfulness and young love. it makes the reader feel the lapping of the water on skin as laughter is heard above the waves. a very expressive and creaful write, please do not alter it it is simply devine the way it is. it has a random layed back feel to it that is just casual enough to make it lifelike
