Serious about Being Serious

You look so serious

when I am not.

Why do I joke

while you do not?

Do we dislike each other?

If so, why do we share a table

and are able to sit,

have done for so long?

Yes, you seem so serious but

are masking a smile?

Are you so jolly but

concealing it,

looking so serious?

Or are you grave and solemn -

seriously serious -

while I try to joke?

tis strange how relationships change over time .. sometimes so insidiously that one or the other and sometimes even both parties don't notice .. I am glad I checked in today sir .. write on :)
