almost a smile almost a smile like the sun here in november almost a smile almost a smile lakes that glitter behind trees blinking lamps in dusky streets almost a smile almost a smile like the bliss of northern summer hopefullness with the new-comer very casual and unstable like a guest will leave the table like a day when nothing happens when you were sure the worst would happen almost a smile like a word that isn't worthless that you haven't heard in lies yet almost a smile like the pressence of a stranger when you've lived in constant danger almost a smile passing cars, suprising comfort like a lover at the airport almost a smile
