Rafiki,those random giggles were actually stiffled cries
I bet you never realized
And how my eyes closed when I laughed..
It was away of blinking away my tears
How I cried when I laughed so hard...
It was because the blinking at times failed and the tears ended up flowing

I'm sure all these you never realized
but it's okay
I don't blame you for not seeing the sadness in my eyes
No.. not at all rafiki
Nor do I blame you for not reading sorrow between the wrinkles on my forehead
Why would I anyway?

Why would I blame you for not hearing how weary my soul was through my voice?
Why blame you for not noticing the mundane glow in my eyes?
Why would I?

Though I at times honestly wonder...
Is it not you who knows me better than anyone else?

But it's fine rafiki...
It's completely fine
