The Reason

The reason why I lie

Was to see your carefree smile.

So when you asked me if I’m okay,

The opposite of the truth was all I got to say.

I want you to laugh freely,

To always think that life is easy.

For easing your worry

Is my sole duty.

You don’t understand, do you?

This is not just about never being blue.

It’s about protecting your happiness ’til death,

The only thing that gives me strength.
