I can never forget the first time she looked at me and smiled.

She was standing there with a furrowed expression on her face pondering over the repercussions of the overcast sky, when suddenly a breath of life seemed to pass through her and she smiled.

It wasn't as if its was a picture perfect moment or anything. Nor was it as beautiful as paradise. It was in fact the most drab and dreary of settings. An overcast sky, two strangers and the hustle-bustle of a city arrogant to its seams.

Yet there was that undefinable something about the way she looked that very unforgettable moment, and more pertinently the exquisite manner in which her sights lingered on me which I shall never be able to set off from even the deepest throes of my remembrance ever in my life.

There was that wholesome angelic glimmer which makes one stop and cherish the experience of being alive and looking. And the innate warmth that comes from the feeling of being at home. Surreal, but nice. Very very nice.
