Smile for Me

I rushed into his room to give him the good news. He smiled and tried to be happy for me. But I saw through the guise. Didn’t he realize his sham was so predictable? One of us had deflated like a burst balloon.

He rushed into my room to give me the good news. I smiled and tried to be happy for him. Could he see through my pretense? Didn’t I realize my sham was so predictable? One of us deflated like a burst balloon. Yet again.

  1. depends on ur pretense.. normally one can see through such things.. but if one is high on happiness, i might go unnoticed...
    the deeper question here is though, tht have we reached a point where we can't be happy for each other? if so, is there any point in continuing with whatever relation we have?
