Just Because

Just because I’m smiling,

Doesn’t mean I’m happy,

Doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten,

And doesn’t mean you’re forgiven.

Just because I say I hate you,

Doesn’t mean I don’t miss you,

Doesn’t mean I don’t want you back,

Doesn’t mean I actually mean what I say.

Just because I’ve moved on,

Doesn’t mean I don’t think of what could’ve been,

Doesn’t mean I don’t think about the past,

Doesn’t mean I stopped caring.

Just because I’m smiling,

Is everything okay?

Am I different now?

Just because you’re gone?

Just because you’re gone.
