Josiah Jacobus-Parker Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 That is why we look pretty when we cry I look at you and all I can think is 'Stunning, absolutely stunning'. How very complicated and strange you are, My dear. Oh but how beautifully you wear your identity. So quick when you seem so slow. A difficult illusion to maintain, I know. It is much easier to come across foolish And simple than to be complicated. We both understand that. Make them laugh and they wont remember we have feelings. It isn?t a horrible, self-pitying thing to do. It?s just much simpler than thinking Everything there is to be thought, And then discussing it with people who may not understand, Not for lack of intelligence, But for being different from you... Me... Us. I?m sure they have thought over their very own everything, And we wouldn?t follow the half of it. C'ect la vie, my love. That?s life. Besides, I think you would agree with me saying That laughing produces much more attractive wrinkles Than the lines formed by a brow furrowed in thought. The thinker's face is etched and creased in such a way That it gives the illusion of sobriety Even at the thinker's most joyful state, Where as the laugher's tearful face still shines With glorious, forgotten happy memories. That is why we look pretty when we cry, My lovely. That is why we look pretty when we cry. Quote Link to comment

About how people put on facades with certain people and what they mean... Quote Link to comment
