Behind Fake Smiles
When it’s just me and you,
We become actors on the big screen.
We’re exploring each other’s chemistry,
Because nothing’s set in stone yet.
What makes you different from everyone else?
The look in your eyes only makes me curious.
It lures me, and I let all my defenses down.
I can’t tell if this feeling is a good thing.
Instead of running into his arms, you hug me,
Whispering your worries as you lay on my chest.
The same worries you should tell him, but
You hide them behind smiles while thinking of me.
When was the last time you told him,
“I love you,” as you looked into his eyes?
Compared to the last time we talked
About your dreams, cuddles under the stars.
I know I’m so selfish
For wanting this so bad.
Even though it’s nothing physical,
I’m getting more of you than him.
How far can this go behind his back?
I wish I knew how to end this properly,
But you’re the only thing stuck in my mind,
And I can’t let go yet.
I hope nothing bad happens.
