Why can't you just be happy,
he screams.
That is an answer your don't know,
you give him a blank stare,
you want to be happy,
you should be happy.
His demeanor changes,
by the look on your face.
Why are you so pessimistic,
he says in a half whisper,
and looks in your eyes.
You love him,
and he loves you,
but your unhappiness is a burden.
Tears are running down your cheek,
you put your head on his chest.
He kisses the top of your head,
and whispers,
I love you,
and you whisper back the same.
