Sometimes..

.you live with too much.

You know things you are better not knowing, you hear things you would rather not listen to, you see things you don't wish on your worst enemy.

But, in the midst of it all, you carry on, baking that cake, reading that book, fighting with a friend or laughing at his jokes, and no one, no one at all suspects anything is amiss.

You put your heart away but smile nevertheless. Why, why should it be complicated, why should anything change.

Face value is just fine.
