It all started with a smile

My smile leads to several stories with different endings. I smile to show I can be sweet, I end up with amazing friends. I smile to mask my pain, I gradually forget the stabbing pressure on my heart. I smile to intimidate a bitch, I find her avoiding me instead of fighting me. I smile to make friends with you, I now tell the greatest love story of my life, sort of. We may not be lovers yet, but we're getting there. *wink wink*

It all started with a smile. I smiled genuinely to start a conversation, though I like to skip the awkward hi-let's-be-friends-what's-your-name part and immediately move to more intelligent conversations like, oh, gift wrapping. I still remember the jokes that went flooding as we talked about your unbelievably expert way of gift wrapping. It was Christmas season at that time, and I'm sorry you got dragged into gift wrapping with me. I know it was not the most glamorous job in the world, and I know I was not exactly the best company there ever was. Today, roughly six months from that very moment, something about the way you look at me tells me that I have cast a spell on you. After all, we did spend an awful lot of time together these past few months. You even cared to take me home if we were out too late at night. It was extremely difficult for me to track the time when I was with you. It felt like I never wanted to be anywhere else. Today was no different. I don't know how you could be such a perfect friend and possibly the perfect lover. To this wonderful unity of love and friendship, I give you the very same genuine smile that I gave you on that very first time. It is my way of saying 'once upon a time' that would later on lead to our happily ever after.
