Salted Tears | ✓

You can see him

in his room

doing homework

through the windows.

You miss the days you

could climb into his room

and distract him playfully.

You almost did.

You walked to the window

and pushed it open,

but stopped when

you looked up.

He was still there,

but with her.

She covered his eyes

and when he turned

to see her...

He had the smile.

The smile that used

to be the only thing

you looked forward to.

The smile that

is the only reason

you are still breathing.
