Smiles


I can never forget those smiles on His face. They were so precious. For someone who does not smile that often, those were priceless. It must have been the flora in the gardens and the waters in the ocean. The alluring beauty of nature...and of course, my very mere presence!

And I have been smiling a lot too, he said. The coy saccharine blush on my cheeks when our eyes met at the airport, and the plastered grins exuding bliss in the pictures...yes, we managed to capture all that in the camera.

There was no rationale. Our minds were blank, not thinking. Emotions overruled. Our hearts were light, pure and complete. Burning with passion and romance. And yes, we are still smiling this very moment. We simply cannot wipe them off our faces.

"Somewhere there is someone that dreams of your smile, and finds in your presence that life is worthwhile."
