Be Happy


Be happy...

Simple phrase that goes a long way,

Turn and face me

Those eyes are full of sadness

Your face seems far too tired

Careful, many people are having heartache

They care for your health

They are wishing to make you happy,

Clean away those tearful thoughts

Starting new again just to say goodnight

Whether a good morning with soulless selfie

Either way, I worried more about you than I worried about myself

However, I decided to stray away and crush my own dreams

For I can only watch and hope one day that tired face will smile fully again

Because I held my cold heart back to not let my love be shown for the time being

Until the day you finally awake from this dream of yours

Only then such cold heart won’t exist
