Sixteen years ago a boy gave me an important giftIt was a smile

It was the early autumn of my first year at a middle school, and my old school was far awayAs a result, no one knew who I wasI was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone

Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart breakI couldn’t talk with anyone about my problems

Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usualAt that moment, a boy entered the classroomI didn’t know who he wasHe passed me and then turned backHe looked at me, with a smile

Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendlyIt made me feel happy, lively and warmThat smile changed my lifeI started to talk with other students and made friendsDay by day, I became closer to everyone in my classThe boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now

One day I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me!

It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have goneI believe that the world is what you think it isIf you think it lonely, you might always be aloneSo smile at world and it will smile back
