When she spoke, it was a smell of toilet pit mixed with urine twenty one day old dead bodies
He didn't say a word
Because words hurts forever; he went and came back, and said to her 'you are the most beautiful, that's why i got these for you'
She opened it, it was tooth paste, brushes and mouth washes.
Her mouth smells, for she was poor and couldn't afford any since birth, and her chewing sticks couldn't serve much or better.
When he took off his shirt for heat was intense, and since no air conditioner nor fan in the room, he came out, there she saw his skin rattled with rashes and pox,
She didn't laugh at him, nor mock him, she went and came with lotions, creams and drugs
You are so handsome that's why I got you these
He was one who have been too poor to afford good water for drinking or batting
His skin became the Jesus to bear the cross.
She was happy
He was happier
For he was privilege to help someone
He was happier
And she was happiest
For she was opportune to put a smile of someone's face.
