The untold secret

I look over

at you and

you look lonely.

I could see

you were hurting

and I want

to say something.

What if I

say the wrong

thing you could

turn away and run.

What am I

going to do

I just found

you again.

I start to

think what should

I say to you.

The untold secret

is that I

wanting to tell

that I like

you but I never

could tell you

without making you

wanting to run.

The untold secret

is hidden in

a locked door

and only you

can open it

up with the

right words.

The untold hiding

when I thought

I would never

see you again.
