i'm tired of smiling,

don't want this responsibility.

but here i am again,

giving you the faith and hope

that you need.

staring into your sparkling eyes,

for the first time ever,

the selfish thought,

cross my mind.

why are you the only one that get to feel happiness,

while i have to pretend?

is this the sacrifice that everyone has to make?

why does this have to be?

but you know..

this is just a thought.

i don't want both of us to fall,

so i'll keep my mouth shut with the smile i always carry,

because it's my responsibility.
