A Smile

Yesterday morning I woke up and decided that I wanted to try a smile, it didn't last long. So I faked it the rest of the day, hoping that the real smile might return. It's okay though because I know one day it might just return and when it does I will embrace it, never letting go. At least that's what I tell myself when I go through my day getting glimpses of its beauty when around those who truly make me happy. So, what is the appropriate response to these flashes of smile that just might, maybe one day, brighten my future? I assume it is to just hold on tight and never let go, but then eventually you just get to a point where you feel like it is a lost cause to keep chasing someone who doesn't reciprocate the same emotions.
