Standing in what was once their
favorite spot of park brought back memories of the past.
He had avoided coming
here all these years. He had tried pushing
all the memories to the back of his mind but seeing her smiling face today had
been too much.
He knew it was his mistake; he had never understood her love and had always taken her for granted.
He wished he knew then what he knew now. Then he
wouldn't have had to see his love smiling jovially in the arms of someone else; a smile that should have been for him!

Keep Smiling :)
