Surreal daze
And I glance around slowly
The noise of the cafeteria
A dim background set
To even bleaker music in my head
Until I see you
Glowing with a radiance so intense
You make everything vibrant once more
By flashing me a smile
White-hot in its heat...
And my heart starts singing
Almost regretfully
A melody joyful in its sadness
A perfect paean for the moment.
