Secret Love Revealed

by PJ   Apr 5, 2007


Middle of summer 2006
Sitting in the music room
You walk past me and smile
My mouth opens; I stumble, I can't tell you

You need to hear the words
I'm here to reveal
I look into your eyes when you ask if I'm OK
I almost start to cry as I turn my head away

You put your hand on my chin
You lead me to look into your eyes
You ask me "what is it? you can tell me"
I look at you and smile; "I can but I can't explain why"

You look at me with worry
As I stand up and say
"I don't want you to hate me
and I know that you will"

As I go to walk out the door
You touch my arm
I stop and look at the floor
Then I turn to you and almost fall apart

I pick your hand up
I put it to my heart
I look at you and softly say
"You'll always be in my heart"

You stare at me and ask
"What do you mean?"
I look at you and say
"What I mean to you, is different to what you mean to me"

I walk out the door
Outside you watch me walk away
I think about it over and over
I think about that day

Haven't seen you in 5 months
Now I get a phone call
I'm screaming inside
I'm totally freaking out

I hear on the other end
"We need to talk"
With nothing but silence on my part
I look inside my heart

We meet up at our old school
Sitting in the same spot
You ask me what I meant
I tell you the truth of the feelings I forgot

"I have fallen in love with you
There's nothing I can do
Believe me I've tried
But everything's left me crying"

You whisper in my ear
"I'm sorry, we can never be"
I found that out the day I came to school and heard the rumour
That you just got married

[This is to a teacher I had feelings for]
