I smile, not because I’m happy, but because I don’t want to cry.
Tears remind us that we once loved.
Broken hearts speak the truth we fear admitting.
Some scars show the battles we survived.
The distance between us is carved in silence.
Grief is the price we pay for loving deeply.
Sadness lingers like a song without a chorus.
I hide my tears so no one sees me fall apart.
The darkest nights reveal our deepest fears.
I loved you in silence, and that was my sorrow.
