just because I’m being cute doesn’t mean
you’ll forgive me.
just because I want to talk about what happened doesn’t mean
you want to share your feelings
just because I’m listening to Pachelbel doesn’t mean
I’ll get out of bed.
just because I’m staring at my ukulele doesn’t mean
I’ll write a song.
just because I tell everyone else not to fret the small stuff doesn’t mean
that I won’t.
just because you call me doesn’t mean
I’ll answer.
just because I’m with my friends doesn’t mean
I’m not lonely.
just because I said I ate today doesn’t mean
I actually did.
just because I want to see you now doesn’t mean
I’ll want to see you tomorrow.
just because I’m really honest doesn’t mean
I’m not a good liar.
just because I’m smiling doesn’t mean
I’m not crying on the inside.
