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.
