When Eyes Speak Otherwise

You are smiling,
yet something about it feels distant.

You are laughing,
but I feel no warmth.

You are hugging me,
and I feel no emotion.

What might you carry
that lets you compliment me,
while your eyes say otherwise?

Do I also appear the same to you?
Have our differences brought us to this?

I wonder,
but not for long.

You are still growing.
