Why I’m serious.

Why so serious? you ask.

Well, I can't say I haven't been asked the same many, many times. But I'll humor you -- I'll answer again.

Why don't you smile? Because I'm sad, that's why.

Why are you sad? Because I lost a lover, that's why.

Well, how did you lose him? I had to let him go even as I loved him, that's why.

Why did you do that? Why did you let something get in the way of love? Because I know something you don't, that's why.

Pain, not love, is what makes the world go 'round.

You shouldn't expect me to be happy. Not anymore.
