Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Gotta Be Careful

With my boyfriend on the subway,

Looking ahead I make a smile

Over something that he does say.

Watching me from across the aisle

Some guy thinks that I'm smiling at

Him, and I quickly turn my head.

Sometimes I'm just forgetful that

Innocent smiles sure have misled

Some strangers to strangely conclude

That such must mean love at first sight,

And the smiler should be pursued,

Often causing the smiler fright.

My boyfriend and I leave the train,

Glad that that stranger does remain.
