However..

My friend smiled
However
The smile had sadness in the eyes
Moist but warm
They pierced through my heart
And it hurt to see a friend sad thus
I longed to be able
To wipe those tears
And to see a smile
However
All I could manage was
To show a mirror
Where the tears became mine
And my sadness was all that was visible
I think I am a friend
However..


(For someone who needs to smile more often; because when that happens, the world smiles as well)

@ Red soul

Thanks for your comments, and for visiting my blog as well. :)
On the other hand, this is a little like the trick interview question - 'What are you weaknesses?'.
And the politically correct answer to that are 'bad' qualities like over-exertion, one-track focus on targets, no time for work-life balance and all such!

I wonder whether my 'honesty' (as you so kindly call it), is really that, or is it also the result of just putting forth some of the things I *wanted* to put up, hiding the rest.

I don't know, I hope not.. But am I sure?
