are you real?

I admire you. I really do.
I think you could be yourself, if you wanted to.

I don't like myself, but I don't hide behind a mask, I don't deny.

I love your laugh,
And I love your eyes,
But is it real,
Or is it all a lie?

I can't tell,
Because when you were falling,
I still found your smile somewhat charming.

But now your smile has been hidden for a while.

I love that you don't hate me,
Buy you don't like me,
Do you?

I want to spend time with you,
But if it's  not real,
If it's all fake,
Am I the one to blame?

I want to be with the real you,
The face that you hide.
I want you to be comfortable with yourself,  if you don't mind.
