All my life, I smiled because I was taught not to show what I truly felt. 

A strong woman must be unbreakable. 

So I smile. 

I smile even when I'm alone.

 I smile, escaping the sadness of the past. 

But everything changed when you came into my life. 

From that day on, I found a reason to smile. 

So I smile. I smiled the moment I met you. 

I smile when you look at me. 

I smiled the first time you kissed me. 

I smile every time I think of you. 

I smile when I dream of you.

 I smile when you began to drift away. 

I smile when you said the time we spent together meant nothing. 

I'm afraid to stop smiling because if I do, 

I might never be able to again. 

Because when you left, you took everything I had. 

But now I know that a strong woman is not afraid to show what she feels.
