Hide-and-seek

Behind the curtain she stood hidden
As if she thought her tiny feet didn't peek at the bottom
I pretend I didn't see and called her name
Her childish giggle muffled behind her hand
I turned my back to her, enough time for her
To come out and say ' sat' on the wall.

My fake disappointment seemed make her smile
My smile hidden beneath for me to look back on
Oh I wish it wasn't how I was
Maybe I'll still be just the same.
