I have a smile stretched from ear to ear...

Today he introduced himself; Joe. Well, Joe, I think he knew that I've been admiring him for the past few months, because today he took that first step and asked my name. The smile...oh my god, the smile...it disarmed me.

It was a smile that I wish would say, "I don't care what's happened. I don't care what mistakes you have made. I don't care that you've hurt, been hurt, and stayed in bad situations for way too long. I just want to grab you and take you with me on this trip."

Instead it said, "hi" and that was enough to keep me going all day.
