The Smile

It was just a smile. It's more like a grin. It happened for a mere seconds and I have been reliving it for several hours now. In a life where I hardly have anything to be excited about, this has kept me in such a happy mood ever since.

It was a surreal feeling that I wanted to write poems about. I want to embrace it as much as I can 'cause I don’t know if I will be able to experience such a thing again. It is stored in my memory and I want it to be etched in my heart forever, like a moment that gets my face glow if I reminisce in the future.

The smile doesn't have a meaning. It obviously does but I am not going to tell the backstory of it. It's just it. It's just a single superior moment that will live with me forever. I have seen people falling head over heels over the simplest of things and I always wondered if it's all really worth the exaggeration. I got to experience it and yes it is worth writing poems, falling head over heels and do the craziest things.

The smile took me back in time to my school days. The butterflies returned back creating a dream in real life. The smile has so much impact on me 'cause I didn't expect it to happen. Whenever any unexpected things happen, it has mostly been on the negative side and to experience one in the positive had injected a dose of exuberance that's fresh and new.

I don't expect much from life. It is just a cycle of suffering. I just wish I am blessed with such simple moments of joy that gives me everything to face the constant agony that it is.
