the drink stall auntie refills me a cup of grape juice, completely free of charge, when I toppled and spilt the cup that I paid for right upon receiving it in primary school, and asking me if I was okay;
the elderly stranger beside me on the bus back home passes me a sheet of tissue after I had finished my bag of potato chips, because I had dirtied my mouth (I wasn’t supposed to be eating on the bus);
the schoolmate whom I barely knew ran after me, as I ran for the bus, because I had unknowingly dropped my bus card on the floor, just to return it to me;
the friend who doesn’t speak or text much, but always forwards me articles and emails of the things she knows that I will be interested in;
the closer friend who dropped her work temporarily to ask if I needed to call, when I sent a brief text telling her that I was feeling a little lost;
the significant other who after a tiring day, walked 1km at 11pm alone in the dark when you dislike the dark, to meet me just because I had a rough day;
you hold gently, someone’s heart, without them knowing that you have ever held them at all.
