i heard
you laughing
which sounded like melody in my ears
you were smiling
she frowns to you because she thought it was a jeer
how could you make a simple joke
that obviously she wouldn't get?
i do
i always get you
but it didn't matter
because you got her
and even if she doesn't get your jokes
nor will she ever,
that's okay
at least i heard you laugh
even though it was your joke
and it wasn't made to be;
the joker laughs at his own jokes,
that's okay
because when you laugh,
i'm okay
// a mere joke that killed me inside
