Your smile can pierce through my dark heart
A smile that reaches the eyes
Eyes that speak a lot of joys
And the heart that peaks through every time you laugh

They say that you have cold eyes
Your stares are scary
Your stupid antics are creepy
And that you are too high most of the time

But I really love all these traits of you,
It makes me wonder what kind of person you really are
You seem gleeful and always happy
But I see myself in you too when you fall silent

You are confusing me with your smiles
My gullible heart wants to believe in all that you say and show
But I have to use my brain and know that you are human too
You have emotions, and actions that are not visible in front of the camera

I for one cannot judge you for who you really are
Good or bad, it’s not my problem
You sing, dance and smile because it’s what you love to do
You are a sunny ball of mystery to me

And for that, I am once again reminded
That such emotions are not mine to invest in
I like the way you smile
But the warmth can be faked

And sometimes even the most sincere emotion it seems,
Can also be forged
It’s not my problem you if you are a good or bad person
And that's why I can’t invest in these kind of emotions

You have a very long road ahead of you
Hopefully, whatever happens in the next few years
That warm smile that reaches your eyes remain
Soak up all the happiness under the sun, fair boy
