Smiles aren't always real.

Sometimes, it's a facade that people make.

A facade to hide their sadness - their pain.

A facade that they must uphold, no matter what.

A facade .... That helps them escape the cruel reality, even just for a while.

Facades are used by mostly all of us.

Sometimes, we just don't want other people to see our true emotions.

We hide it. We conceal it.

Just put a fake smile, then we could hide our sadness under a small facade.

But how can he put up a facade so easily?

How could he even smile and laugh, knowing that his time is running out?

Knowing that he'll have to leave her as soon as his time stops ticking.....
