"Hello."

"Hello."

Look like you want to be here.


"Are you free?"

"Yes."

Don't show them you don't want to.


"Come on."

"Sure."

You're tripping, but it'll be fine.


"Are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

You've told this lie before.


"I love you."

"I love you too."

You can hear your own heart crack.


"Come to bed with me."

"Yes."

No.


"I'll be gone for a few."

"Alright."

They can't know you want them to stay.


"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

But oh your eyes won't shut, because...


"Smile!"

You're so sick of pretending.

But...


"You have a beautiful smile."

I have a beautiful way of pretending.
