You leaned beneath the citrus tree
And waved your hand like, “Come to me”
The sun played shadows on your face
A kind of calm I can’t replace
I said a joke, you cracked a grin
As if you knew where I had been
That moment froze in lemon light
Like yellow glass that held me tight
I swear the breeze was made for you
It paused the world and whispered through
No thunderstorm, no blazing fire
Just you and shade and small desire
You smiled, and I forgot my name
My drink went flat, my pulse went flame
No filter needed, no denial—
Just caught inside your lemon shade smile
We didn't kiss, we didn’t run
We just let stillness meet the sun
And in that hush, I learned it’s true
Some smiles can bloom the sky so blue
I took a step and held my breath
Afraid to break that summer depth
But you just laughed and turned your head
That image stays with me instead
You smiled, and I still feel the glow
Like something soft I’ll never show
But deep inside, I hold the file—
The one named lemon shade smile
