Some men don't even know when something is wrong or hurts you. Communication is the answer. When he hides behind his laughter let him hide but be there when his laughter is gone. Truely a wonderful poem.

"I love you and want you to see,
There is nothing you can’t share with me,
I want our love to be so strong,
But how can it be,
If you pretend nothing is wrong? "

This is truely a very very touchy and heartfelt write....clap clap clap for this gem of a write straight from the heart.....BHUWAN
