Stina Nordenstam 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 Hopefulness 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 presence of a stranger when you've lived in constant danger Almost a smile Passing cars, surprising comfort Like a lover at the airport Almost a smile
