subtle smiles

i've learned a lot about love this fall.
there's a girl i know who exudes this
"i don't need your love" persona.
but the truth is, we all want it
even if we want people to think we don't want it.
so the other day when i gave her a hug.
i saw her eyes smile.
it was super subtle but super clear.
she likes it, she likes to be loved.
and maybe she needed it - who knows.
i've seen God warm her disposition
like i never thought possible.
wow, it's really beautiful.
