You Lucky Double

I know you are sad

I have never said hello

We see each other all the time

Never wave

Always smile

You have laughed at my jokes

Not looking back to compliment me

But I know you are sad

You put on a show

Laughing and smiling

I know

I do it too

I know you

I hate how others ask how I'm feeling 

When I am visibly crying

I say I am fine

But am I?

Are you?

No?

Yes?

We are simalar, you and I

We create different identities

So nobody knows what is inside

You are a better actor

You are popular

I am not

I'm just middle class

I write my words

You speak them

I tell the truth

Do you?

I have never said hello

But I complemented your hair

You thought I was someone else

Until you saw me

You smiled

I smiled back

We laugh at the same things

But are we really laughing?

I am now

Are you?

I suround myself with those who are my friends

You do too

You lucky double

I wish we could be friends

I am going to see you again

I will

But now, it is the weekend

I know

I'll see you till then

It will be just so
