Who Cares?

I know I care,
I know you care.
Smiling may be a mask,
But it doesn't have to be.
I know what would make me happy,
But what about you?
That pretty face, that kind warm heart.
You have to care,
Your acting skills aren't the best.
That happiness wasn't fake,
We weren't on a stage.
You'd never lie to me,
I know.
I know you care,
I know you're not fake,
I know you wouldn't lie.
You're so beautiful to me,
I know you.
I know the real you.
And I'll just keep telling myself this until it's actually true.
