His eyes brightened, her eyes stayed dull.
He made jokes, she hardly laughed.
He stepped closer, she stepped back.
He held on, she went on.
He hurt, she didn't.
. . . But . . .
My eyes will brighten, he'll never know.
I'll make jokes, he'll never know.
I'll step closer, he'll never know.
I'll hold on, he'll never know.
I'll hurt, he'll never know.
