I dreamt about you dying
And I, not shedding a tear
Standing there silently
Looking at the others cry
Time pass by
Everyone moved on
Smiling and laughing
Looking happy
Then he came
Saw through my facade
He broke my walls
With a question
"Why?"
"What do you mean?"
I replied with a smile
Trying to look for answers
He said, "Why didn't you cry?"
With a smile I replied,
"Because I had to"
He look at me
Confusion visible on his face
" I had to– I had to be strong so I could comfort them.
I had to hide what I truly felt so I could make them happy.
I had to put a smile to assure them.
I had to, because they needed me to be their pillar in their weakest point.
As the youngest, they needed me to be their light."
Tears started to fall
For the first time
Ever since that day came
I cried
