Very moving. It takes a bit of time to get into it--I would change how you begin it--but by the end you have adeptly drawn out the intended emotion. I would change "He gets serious when asking concern questions" the use of concern here is redundant with the previous sentence, and not really the right use of the word. Just find another way to say this without using "concern". I love and hate the "I sat" sequence at the ending. It is very moving, a good end to the story, but semi redundant and slightly awkward. It's just...the end to a moving piece must be flawless. I would debate whether or not to find other ways of beginning the sentences, though the only thing I would undoubtedly remove is the metaphor, "like the city left in ruins after an unannounced natural disaster". "THE" city implies we know the city, though you have not established this. "Unannounced natural disaster" is just too unwieldy for this dead-romance piece. Overall the metaphor took away from the closing sequence--though I still was moved, I also had to think, "wow, that was a maladroit execution of a metaphor". Regardless, I like the overall story. You did an excellent job building up the emotion, and made me relate heavily to the man/situation. Create a more ensnaring beginning, fix the ending, and you'll have a very powerful piece.
