He came into my life like a gentle breeze.There one moment, gone the next.

I saw him for the first time, on Saturday, in the park. He was cycling down the pathway.

It was a beautiful autumn evening. As the sun set it cast a golden glow upon him.He seemed to be radiating light. And the dying rays of the sun lit up his eyes, making them look like fire. Such a lovely colour. I was mesmerized.

Our eyes met by chance , and he flashed a smile at me. I was so struck by it, I could not think of anything else for the rest of the week.

When Saturday came again, I rushed as fast as I could to the park and waited for him.

But I never saw him again.

His smile, however, I never forgot. It was so radiant, and filled with so much life and joy, and a hint of mischievousness.It was a smile straight from the heart.

I wonder who he was. I never managed to find out, despite all my efforts. Perhaps he was an angel who had came to save me. For when I saw him that day, I was suffering from depression, and his smile had given me hope. Hope that everything would be alright. It became my strength and let me face my problems. Even to this day, whenever I feel down, I remember his smile and cheer up immediately.

I wish with all my heart that one day I would also be able to smile from my heart and  share my joy with the world. Just like him.
