why did you get sad?

the question

"why did you get sad?"

feels like a torture to me

was it too complicated? was it too simple?

was i being too sentimental? was i being such a crybaby?

if i tell you the reason why, would you understand me, or worse

you might misunderstand me

i'm not even sure that my answer was the reason

my reason

might not the answer

this confusion, i was petrified to share it with you

why did you get sad, you asked

nothing

just keep the idea of me they way it is in your head
