Dedicating to NanoriHoshimi. Enjoy!

It wasn't easy to hide feelings from others.
Yet you compose yourself with a smile so gentle.
As a supportive friend, you made me wonder.
What are you hiding in that smile of yours?

Everyday remains the same as if trouble never came.
Others were envious of your attitude.
And you encourage them to be strong.
Curious once more, are those words even true to you?

Despite hiding, you did your best to stop me.
Stopping me to hear you out but couldn't.
Why won't you let me interfere?
When you know you couldn't handle it.

I loved to break that mask of yours
But was too afraid to see you collapse.
I wonder once more, isn't it painful to bear?
And always, you gave that never-ending smile of yours.
