I wiped away my tears
and found a smile for you.
Today I was strong.
Inner strength is easy to fake
so long as I tell myself
You are the one who needs it more.

I wiped away my tears
and the trails they paved for you.
Today I helped you and held you.
If only I told you how much
I needed those arms, too.

I wiped away my tears
as quickly as I could.
You caught me this time. 

I'm ready to feel weak
In front of you.
