I looked at her sleeping , with her makeup smudged from crying and hair a mess. She looked tired. Tired of the the fake smiles and ugly lies. Tired of pretending to be happy. And in that moment I thought about how happy she was as a child for no reason, and how simple things were back then. And now she's slowly disappearing, and I'm just sitting there, watching it all happen, knowing I can't do anything about it. ...And thats when I knew that I would love her more than she would ever love me, simply because she had nothing left inside of her anymore.- kh
