Smile

"What was the first thing you noticed about me?" she asked. "Your smile", he said. 
It doesn't take much to put a smile on her face, but that wasn't what he wanted from her anymore. She was always the type of girl that treasured those little things in life. You didn't need to be rich and powerful, just thoughtful and loving. That was more than enough to fill her heart with warmth and joy. However, lately, her soul seemed to be crumbled and withered away by those ever so little yet constant disappointments. All she wanted to do was smile and be happy. But, how could she? When all that the world seemed to want from her was the contrary.
 The danger of being that kind of person who is lifted up by simple things is that you can be destroyed by them as well. No one can see what's going on inside your mind. Only you can. That's the reason why you can't depend on anyone else to understand your feelings. Don't expect them to apologize or sympathize.
 So if you've lost your smile , just hug yourself tight and tell yourself that everything's alright. Remember this when you spend your nights trembling in grief with a heart full of stone and your eyes are swollen from the river that you cried.
