When she left him

 When she left him, he smiled for the last time. He kept those smiles close to his heart, where only he could see them. 

When she left him, he cried his last tear. He kept that tear close to his heart where only he could see it.

When she left him, a piece of him left, too, and his life would never be the same. Late at night, when the darkness was upon him, he thought of her, and his smiles turned to tears, and only she could see them.
