He Smiles at Me

He smiles at me with his wry grin,

He's thinking something else, something hidden within.

His smiles have changed since just a month before,

They haven't been the same since he walked out my door.

His friends all know what we went though,

But for some reason, they know more than I ever knew.

He tells them all lies that come from the back of his mind.

Somehow he has pushed the feelings in his heart behind.

I miss all of our talks when we held hands in the night,

Hell, I even miss our days when all we did was fight.

I miss every part of him, and every feature of his face,

But that sweet smile has disappeared without even a trace.

Somehow I blame myself, for ending what we once had,

I blame myself, because his smile is now sad.

I know I messed up, and I know he hurt me deep,

Sometimes at night, I think of him, I can't sleep.

He sends me apologies, he's sorry we're apart.

Apologies that seem to come from the heart.

Where was this sweet writing when I needed it so?

Where was his sweet smile, where did it go?

Why did things end? Was it meant to be?

Will he ever smile the same? Will he always love me?

I know in my mind, and in my heart.

That in some secret way, we'll never really part.
