A Smile

Easy to fake.

Easy to break

Easy to lose, 

Easy to use but hard to get.

It is a one of a kind masterpiece.

 It is like glass, one would only realise it is flawed after looking hard enough.

It is said that our flaws make us perfect, but we tend to hide them through something that doesn't even take a minute to show to the whole world, something that we call a SMILE.

Nonetheless, behind every sweet smile is a bitter story which continues to haunt one behind closed doors
.
Tears. Pain. Heartache and disappointments lie behind a smile. 

Who knew that the person who gives the most beautiful smile could face heartache at the end of the day?

Value it.
Cherish it.
Acknowledge it.
You never know what it takes for a person to make you smile..
If you're able to get one, give one in return.
