It's my birthday today.

Each step I took gave out the happiness I'm feeling right now.

I was able to convince you to go out with me today.

God, has it felt like years ago to have gone on a date with you.

With a huge smile on my face, I skipped my steps by the pavement,

until....

I felt your presence staggering back.

I looked behind me,

and there you were,

with tired eyes and a forced smile.

Your feet were dragging you, almost as if you didn't want to come with me.

My smile immediately faltered,

but I tried to conceal the disappointment as I ran back to you and clung my arms to yours.

You must've noticed my gaze as I checked if you really were feeling forced,

because your eyes met with mine and you gave me a faint smile of reassurance.

I failed again as your lover, didn't I?

"Sorry, just tired of work."

You shortly answered.

and I nodded,

although not convinced.

Those eyes...

they're no longer the starlit ones that look at me lovingly.

Rather, they were dull and lifeless.

I know there's something you're going through right now,

and I know it's hard.

It's hard to force yourself to love me.
