Smile through the tears

This welcome down pour,
all this rain,
hides my tears but not my pain.
My broken heart is still not whole,
I've lost my love,
my heart and soul.
The happiness that I once knew,
is just not there now,
it died with you.
The time gone by almost one year,
I battle on and face my fears.
Carried on regardless,
heard all the good advice.
I've dusted myself off
and each time paid the price.
Without you I must be,
maybe for quite a while.
The tears fall and fall
but still,... I try to smile.
