The pain you hide

Looking at you from across the room,
my heart begins to break.
I can see the sadness in your eyes,
the attempts you're trying to make.

I miss your smile,
I miss your laugh,
the glimmer in your eyes.
I wish things could be the way they were,
instead of one big lie.

I know you want to protect me,
to shield me from the pain.
But forever i'll be here,
through sunshine, hail or rain.

You hide your pain,
you hide your fears,
and that is who you are.
But always know
that no matter what,
I shall never stray afar.

In my heart you'll always be,
every moment of every day.
In my mind once again,
and there you'll always stay.
