When they ask

I have always wondered how,
Someone can know,
When someone has feelings,
And cares about the unknown,

They know by the look,
The simple way you smile ,
And talk,
That something is off,

You are just not right today,
You seem a bit blue,
You can always tell ,
When they ask you,

Are you okay,
Did you sleep well last night,
Do you want to talk,
Or go grab a bite,

These are the true,
The ones that matter most,
The ones that can feel,
When nothing about you shows.
