He stood there, watching

As she buckled and bent

But never broke

How she smiled through the pain

But never cursed

How she went overboard to make others happy

Masking her own sadness

How she tried to make others feel comfortable around her

While she felt a need to belong

She wouldn't brace her sadness

Rather distract herself that it was pitiful to look at

Always in the crowd, Always smiling a bright one

A Perfect smile, is what tells you the person is faking it

Talking too much, giggling more than usual

A queer way, really

To see when someone has something to avoid

The heights they would attain to hide

He just stood there, with a sigh

As she chatted away 'happily'

Without even once breaking a smile

Always on show

Always besides someone

Afraid of her own thoughts, Afraid to be left alone with her shattered emotions

She used people around her to heal as time passed by

Sprouting Nonsense from time to time

She would glance his way at times,

Knowing that his piercing eyes, saw what she hides

But all she gave him was a cryptic smile

Looking down at the floor, before moving on with others

A part of her was glad he was there

Even though they were strangers,

They secretly found comfort in other's presence

She would be glad that someone noticed her sadness, yet wasn't sympathetic.

It filled her with strength to move on

He would be glad he wasn't invisible

That someone would look their way, and smile like they mean it

Her smiles around him wasn't the same as around others

She didn't show her facades smile

Words were never spoken

But the eyes communicate

The Lips showed their inner self

While the feelings formed the understanding and the bond
