fake smiles

26/2/2007


Sat beside you, ever so still, tried to break the silence with small talk, and tried to get over the awkwardness of the situation by hiding behind my fake smiles. I don't think you could grasp what was going on, you couldn't read my moves; you didn't understand what I was going through. Thought I was so smart, covering up my tension with smiles. Rather than bringing us closer, I drove us apart.
Thought we connected on one level or another, for you gave me false hope. Thought something special would come out of the mess I was dragging myself into, but nothing did.
I've always thought I could be myself around anyone and everyone, the over confidence came to haunt me down, couldn't put two words together when you were around, and I just settled for giving you my smiles.
