Once, in the journey of my life, a smile as warm as the morning light appeared. It is like the spring sun, gently sprinkled on my heart, injecting a touch of warmth into my quiet world. However, the smile quietly dissipated like a morning mist on the fingertips I tried to clench, leaving me with endless regret and loss.
That smile, like a meteor streaked across the night sky, was short and bright, leaving a deep imprint on my heart. It became a turbulent river buried deep in my heart, unable to swim across. The sound of the river, like a poignant melody, echoes in my heart all the time, and becomes my song of despair every day and night.
I tried to chase the dissipating smile, only to find myself trapped in the rushing river. The river was rushing and icy cold, and every ripple told me of the pain and struggle in my heart. I have tried to swim against the current, but I have always been swept back to square one by the merciless water.
In this endless struggle, I began to understand that the dissipated smile was not a passerby in my life, but a yearning and pursuit in my heart. I began to let go of my obsession and let the river flow slowly in my heart. I began to depict the sound of the river with pen and ink, making it a sustenance and solace for my soul.
Although that smile has dissipated in the dust of time, I know that it has turned into a song in my heart and an eternal melody in my life. Every time I close my eyes, I can still feel the warm smile rippling in my heart and the sound of the river whispering in my ears.
Now, I no longer seek out that faded smile, but let it become the strength and hope in my heart. Because I know that smile is not really fading, but sublimating into the deepest strength and light in my heart. It is a hymn of my life that will always reverberate in my heart.
