I watched. I watched as the end drew near. The final smiles I saw between you broke my heart. Your smiles for him used to be so innocent, so happy, so real yet as the final days drew closer your smiles became different, forced, insincere. Soon there were no smiles anymore, only hurt and anger...
I watched. I watched as he came to you. I watched at the end. You stood staring at him. I knew as you turned to me I should have done more than just watch...
