When I asked him if he was okay
He smiled a bit too big
And laughed a bit too loud
And the look in his eyes told me differently
But he said he was
So I believed him

I asked him if he was happy
And he looked at me
And smiled weakly at me
And said he was
I didn't believe him
But I didn't do anything

I asked him if he was okay
And he didn't respond
He just looked away
And frowned
But I didn't know what to do
So I didn't do any thing

I was going to ask him if he was happy
But I was too late

And now people ask me if I'm okay
And I just give them a fake smile
And understand
Why he always wore one
