In one moment, I saw it all
Everything you tried to hide;
I glimpsed your heart, your soul
I read the story of your life

You quickly fixed your fallen mask
And pretended to be fine
Said you didn't need anybody else
But I knew otherwise.

I smiled and held out my hand.
You hesitated for just a breath
Then you saw I understand.
And look now, here you are.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
