Just Because

Just because I'm silent, 
doesn't mean I don't have a lot to say. 
Just because I laugh a lot,
doesn't mean I don't take things earnestly. 

Just because I don't say whatever, 
doesn't mean I'm frightened.
Just because I don't say I love you, 
doesn't mean I don't love you.

Just because I appear pleased, 
doesn't mean everything's tolerable. 
Just because I'm determined, 
doesn't mean I expect you to change for me.

Just because I don't communicate, 
doesn't mean I don't care. 
Just because I don’t like you, 
doesn't mean I'm bizarre.

Just because I forgive and forget, 
doesn't mean you can take me for granted. 
Just because I don't show my emotional state, 
doesn't mean I don't have some.
