Untitled 62

you hide me

like a secret you want to keep to yourself

because what would everyone think

no one wants to play the fool

not even you

you make no indication that you know me

like i'm just a stranger in the bar who you stop to have a quick conversation with

before moving on to talk to one of your friends who doesn't know about me

you're constantly looking around you

wondering who may see us together

and run and tell that same friend

you can't stand by me for too long because then everyone will find out

like a secret stranger

i'm a secret no longer
