Reason to smile

Busy day. Have things to finish off at office.
Even the elements seemed to suggest so, as the trees were not swaying, the sun was already bright yellow and the air was cool but still, as I walked my walk.
I found myself wondering, as a song played which reminded me of Vienna, as to how my thoughts used to be at that point in time. I couldn't really remember correctly. I had been thinking that my thoughts have changed drastically in the last year or two, but somehow felt that wasn't the case in reality. For a second, I wanted to go back in time and check how it felt then.
My thoughts wandered, as usual, to him. I pictured him coming up the escalator at the Mall, as I looked on from above, hidden from his sight. He looked around a lil, not really appearing to search for anything, but expectantly coming ahead and obviously looking forward to see me. The way his face lit up, as it lights up every single time on recognising me from among the crowd, is beyond expression. The child-like grin and the smile in his eyes is irresistible and infectious. And whenever I remember it, I can't keep from smiling.
So I am glad that facing this busy day, I have a reason to smile.
