Doesn't Mean...I Didn't Care

I could swear
that you smiled at me
as I quickly
gazed upon your face
and fought back
a sob
.......that caught
in my throat
as I made this
ceremonial pass
before you
and gave you
a mental salute
......then turned
my back to all the
velvet and flowers
and your satin
lined box
.... smiled at all...
and shed not a tear
then walked away....
but it didn't mean
....I didn't care
