somwhere between a smile and a frown

People smile for different reasons. A smile of sheer joy… a smile of appreciation… a smile for approval… a clueless smile (this is when everybody is laughing and u have no idea why so u smile with them anyway)…and sometimes, a fake smile to mask sadness or disappointment.

Last night, I went out with my friends (the newly formed ‘Lonely Heart’s Club). After dinner, we went to Punchline, and there I saw an ample set of smiles…and guffaws. Fake smiles? Perhaps… Just what some people needed--distraction. Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you…and sometimes it can kick u hard in the teeth…& u have to choose whether to cry or to smile – toothless or not. Last night, we chose to smile… to laugh out loud…and to sing our hearts out in till the crack of dawn. It was 5 o clock and raining when we got out. With tired eyes and smiles fading, we called it a day and stepped into the rain. It was time to cry.
