Stare

You look at me as though something is wrong,
i look back at you and ask if you're okay.
you reply with yes,
i'm fine.
I ask once more,
and you stare at me still.
I wave my hand in front of your eyes,
but you are so deep in thought,
that you just keep staring.
You open your mouth to speak,
and i wait for you to say something... anything.
but all you do is smile,
and say yes, i'm fine.
