Return my smile to me
- Lie

i'm not blind.

i know that your late shifts are not spent scribbling down taxes.

i know that the ghost of a smile that flickers across your lips are not meant for me.

i know that your crumbled shirts are not the result of falling asleep on your table.

i know that your phone erupts with texts from not your boss demanding you to return to the office.

i know.

but that's okay.

you still love me. 

even if you don't kiss me anymore.

even if you don't return the heartfelt words I call out to you every morning.

even if you don't hold me close as night falls.

even if you throw the meals I prepare for you, that I spend hours working over.

that's okay.
