Sunglasses

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.
I didn't want you to see the tears in my eyes.
The tears that said how much I care for you.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.
I didn't want you to see the pain in my eyes.
The pain that said how I know we can never be.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.
I didn't want you to see my bloodshot eyes.
The same blood that pumps faster when you hold my hand.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.
I didn't want you to see my blue eyes.
The blue that gets deeper when I'm sad.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.
I didn't want you to see how my eyes squint.
The way they squint when I'm about to cry.

I was thankful for my sunglasses today.
I didn't want you to see how my eyes shine.
The way they shine when I see you smile.
