The secret she kept.

by Jess   Jan 1, 2010


He asked, "What is wrong?"
I hid the answer beneath my fake smile.
he asked, "what did I do?"
I replied, "nothing, its honestly true."
I did not lie that time, it was the truth.
"Dont you still love me?"
I smiled, "Of coarse I do!"
"Then what baby? What is the news?"
I smiled bigger, but he always knew.
I felt a tear roll down my cheek,
All I could think is "Damn it, im weak."
"I know somethings wrong, dont say theres not."
"Its nothing, just move it on."
Another tear rolled down my face, nothing could ever go my way.
"Please, just go away!" Is all I could say.
I never actually wanted him to leave, and that he could see.
"Baby, im not leaving," he said soft and sweet.
My eyes were burning, I could not hold in my cry.
I let the tears out, all at one time.
"I love you, you know," he whispered in my ear.
I tried to walk away, but he pulled me into his embrace.
"Im ok, im ok," I tried to pull away.
"Im not letting go, untill you tell me whats wrong."
He said that, like he was singing a sweet love song.
"Its nothing," I said through the tears.
This has always been my worst fear.
"Dont cry sweetheart, its killing me inside."
"Dont call me sweetheart," I said with a sigh.
"But baby, why?" he looked me in the eyes.
"Did you know I love you, more than my own life?"
All he said was, "I know exactly what thats like."
I took his hands in mine, still not stopping my cry.
"When I saw you hug that girl, I felt like I wanted to die."
I could already feal my mouth going dry.
"I didnt know you were the jealous type," he said very kind.
I tryed to pull away, because I thought what he was fealing was hate.
But instead he grabbed me, and turned me his way.
"Im so sorry, I dont meen to cry this way."
"Dont apologize, its ok."
he pulled me against his chest and held me tight.
I was just so happy this didnt end with a fight.
"I didnt know baby, that you felt this way,"
"Of coarse you didnt, what was I to say?"
I smiled big, looking into his eyes, my eyes were still blurry from my cry.
"Honey, I want you to know, I will never let you go-
You are the best thing that has happend to me in such a long time,
Please understand, I will not let you pass me by."

    Wow, i seriously loved this :]
    Skimmed through a few of your others, and i like came back to this one twice. i like that's it's so real and feels like a story, like i'm looking on this scene that's sort of private, that i shouldn't be seeing. and i like how it's sort of sloppy, no order just something i really relate to, feeling like you're so frustrated and so lost and so honestly in love with someone, so jealous :] haha
    it's really nice, but i do have a question. when she says that she loves him more than her own life, he doesn't say it back. he says, "i know exactly what thats like". why doesn't he say it back?! lol i'm just a total hopeless romantic and i love a beautiful story and i couldn't stop thinking about that. idk am i reading too much into it? w/b por favor
