I felt his lips spread as my lips touched his teeth but only for a split second.
He would immediately stop. Like he was genuinely happy for a moment before he snapped back into reality.
But why?
I wanted him to keep smiling. He had the most beautiful smile. Whatever he was thinking that brought that smile to his face, well, I wanted him to keep thinking of that. Even if it was false hope. But really, what is false hope? You don't know a lie until you know the truth , and there was no way to know the truth. It was lost in the midst of us. In the midst of our smiles.
