Nonexistent Smile

Smile

  Is her smile still existent because I haven't seen it in ages. She is still right there in front of me but she seems continents away. She says I've changed but she won't say how, she just says I'm just not the same person that she met all those years ago. I remember when she laughed at my jokes as they came out with ease. We use to explore, we went to so many places, how I miss those days.

   All I want is for her to be happy once again because I miss her every day. I know what I have to do even though part of me doesn't want to because it will hurt and leave a scar if I do. We used to be so happy, laughing each day but I know I'll never feel that feeling again. 

  I still love her with every piece of my heart but I have to let go. If I want her to be happy then I must go because her love was gone so long ago. I remember when we looked at our phones. Part of me feels like this is wrong but deep down I know it's right because her happiness is more important than my own. I hope she will know that I'm doing this because I care but I have to do this so she'll be happy again, so she'll smile again. I have to let her go.
