You can sit there and tell me its going to be alright. But sometimes its not going to be alright.

I hide behind a curtain,
A curtain of happiness,
All day long to show I’m
Alright,
The curtains fall down when I’m alone,
I’m really not alright,
When I’m alone,
I fall back against the wall,
I slide down it,
And just cry my eyes out,
Because I’m afraid,
Afraid to admit that I…
Still miss you….
