It must be tough.

I can't even try,

To know what you're feeling,

To know the reason why.

Is there a reason?

Is there a why?

I know it hurts.

I know it's tough.

But do one thing,

For me or for you.

Try to smile,

even for just a few.

Here, I'll help.

How can I?

Should I speak of rainbows?

Or maybe platypi?

Did you smile?

Did I make you laugh?

I hope so,

or else this poem's trash.

I didn't?

Not yet?

Okay, let's have a bet.

Whatever you're feeling,

Whatever is wrong,

It's just temporary,

No matter how strong.

So promise me this.

In a year or two,

When all this passes,

You'll no longer be blue.

I'll see you smile.

Maybe you'll laugh,

All in all,

Do you owe me some cash?
