People help people

Three years ago I felt the most lonely and messiest person in the world.

I was in a dark period from which I couldn’t get out. I had my heart broken, I didn’t smile anymore, I wasn’t the same as before.

On a gloomy afternoon of three years ago, I was going to the train station.

I was listening to music and looking down, when a boy smiled at me and I did the same.

Just a smile, nothing more.

                                                    

A year after, in October, I saw him again: it was another bad day. On that day I was so sad that I was crying. I was going to the train station and I thought I would have loved to meet the mysterious boy, but I had almost lost hope.

He passed next to me and I immediately recognized him. We didn’t talk and we both had a very sad face, but we knew we needed to talk together. I went for the train but a few seconds later the mysterious boy turned to me smiling: I realized that he had recognized me as well.

I got on the train and I haven’t seen him since that day.

I tried to find out who he was to thank him for helping me with just a simple smile. Since that day I think that sometimes there are special bonds between people that don’t require words.

Sometimes pain get people together.

People help each other without knowing it: that boy helped me without saying a word. He helped  me with a smile.
