When he used to smile, it was a marvelous smile I remember it now, if only in my dreams He was happy in those days, and then something changed something placed that frown on his strong face and his happiness was erased He won't tell me about it, he has too much pride for that he needs to be strong in my eyes I miss the happy him The him that I knew until he went into another direction and started covering his lies. He talks, but his words seem so empty to my ears His joy is a cloak for his despair His mask is wearing thin, his pain is leaking from the actions in his life When did this all begin? He seems so mysterious to me now not like when I was younger then, I knew his story and what he was about Now, I'm on the outside looking in I grew up, and moved out I ache for his heart and the half-truths that have caught him His life has circled back, and now he's on the run His light continues to dim He's there, and I'm here each of us needing to understand what the other one is thinking out here in no man's land.
