Long Lasting Smiles

It has been said that one’s cheerfulness is enough to inspire people, to lift up the smiles on the faces, to warm the hearts of many. However, sometimes wonder, what is a smile? What does it mean to each and every one of us? If a smile is not long lasting, does it still counted as one? With the water pouring down the sky, one’s soul can be taken along with the raindrops as they move from a phase to another, where the mind starts wandering across the dimension, focuses on nothing but the flow of the untouchable time. Rhythm of the natural occurrence brings a person backwards, to the moments where the incidents taken place, where the sentences are freed from the lips, where the messages received. Does not matter how many times the smiles are put on those faces, there will be the moments where they would be gone; does not matter how sweet a person appears to be, there will be the time where damages would be done; does not matter how touching and how secure one may feels, it might soon be gone. Perhaps it is the destiny to non stop trying, making sure the laughter stays; or maybe, it is time for us to know, that smile does not last, be it a smile which represents joy and contentment, a smile which shows love and care, a smile which disguises the true feelings, or a smile which tells a tale. A smile with such short lifespan is what makes it worth while, to keep on trying.
