You were having a sad day
And your eyes were soft with sorrow
I asked you what was wrong
You said you would improve tomorrow

I tried to tell you jokes
To raise a smile upon your tortured face
But you just nodded thoughtlessly
And looked as if through empty space

You so unwillingly received
My desperate attempts of entertainment
I almost thought of giving up,
Of letting you remain in dark entailment

But then my heart screamed: no!
You love her to no end and thus
You must increase your efforts by a hundred
And be amusing at all cost

When this command came to my mind
We were just boarding a south-eastern train
And in the peoples' looks I found
The way to stop your pouring rain

I started slowly, with the shoes
And flying off my feet they went
Next were the trousers and the shirt
They looked with wonder at the incident

But any less I couldn't care
For through the corner of my eye I saw
A shade of smile brake on your lips

And soon enough you burst in laughter.
