Say Farewell

They started as strangers,
Shared glances,
Shared smiles, which turned into laughs,
Shared tears,
Shared joy & sorrow,
Shared confidences,
Without acknowledging it, they shared a sense of belonging,
He changed her perceptions,
Made her smile even though times were tough,
Although he was the one who gave her her smile,
He walked away before watching her bloom,
And still he was the one she thought about whenever she smiles that same old smile.
