"You're always happy". To you, yes. Because you don't see the midnight tears. Or the tears welling up when I think too hard To you, yes. Because you don't feel me feeling feel too much on days that I just want to end To you, yes. Because you don't notice me noticing what makes me overthink everything. To you, yes. Because you're not me.

"You're always happy". To you, yes. Because you don't see the midnight tears. Or the tears welling up when I think too hard To you, yes. Because you don't feel me feeling feel too much on days that I just want to end To you, yes. Because you don't notice me noticing what makes me overthink everything. To you, yes. Because you're not me.
