When I first met youÂ
I knew you were rich.
not because of worldly possessions.
When I first met you
I fell in love with your richness,
this vast amount of wealth.
Without the arrogance that follows.
Not in compensation for my own.
Not because of how you looked.
What you could afford.
What you wore.
But in how you smiled.
In proportion to what your heart could afford.
The currency you
constantly give for nothing in return.
An abundance of smiles in the places you
could not see before you walked passed
The biggest being,
The smile you put on my face.
The currency you constantly
give for nothing in return
