Valentine Smiles

You can tell that some folks are just plain in love by how they smile when together.

Whether flying solo, or stupid crazy fond of someone, Valentines Day brings to mind various types of love. Romantic, unrequited, physical, platonic, convenient, blind, maternal, fraternal, or kindred amongst humans; unconditional as a pet shows for their master.

Some might feel comparing human and interspecies love diminishes or elevates one or the other. Truth be told, true love is a feeling we all get when the fact that we are all dependant upon each other becomes palpable in our hearts.

There is no thought that provokes bright eyes and a wagging tail upon the sight of a master. There is no thought when a mother’s gaze first falls upon her newborn. There is no thought when the recently breathless candlelit faces of lovers, mere inches from each other, lips subtly postured in the softest of smiles, gently regard each other.

Sometimes it comes in through our eyes, or starts in our head, but always, true love dwells in our heart, shines out our eyes, shows true in our smile.
