Description
She was smiling, just looking up at me with this smile that was so honest and… pure. How was it possible to say so many things with such a simple expression? How did the corners of a mouth drawn up say what would have taken a thousand years to say in a single instant? I was caught off guard and her smile had done it. Then I heard a sweet and short "thank you" accompanying that smile. No one ever thanks me. It's not what people do when they have the misfortune to cross my path. It was so foreign that I didn't know how to even mentally approach the situation. There was just this moment we were both a part of. Sometimes when you’re alone long enough it feels like your heart goes to sleep. It gets colder and colder until nothing seems to touch it and then in an instant something so simple brings spring to your heart. It was so very familiar, that warmth. Like something that you dreamt or heard in a story a long time ago, but I knew it had been real. Warmth like that stays in your heart even if you let it cool it's still there hidden by those dark cold places.
