Love Poem: Secrets

Secrets

Secrets in a special place 
That I wish you could know, 
Bundles that are neatly tied 
And never meant to show. 

Did you see past the curtains? 
Did my secret get to you? 
Did the light behind them catch your eye 
When the wind once blew? 

I wonder if it's possible 
That you have a secret too. 
I thought I saw a flash of light 
When the wind reached you. 

Secrets that could hurt us 
Or that could make us grow, 
Secrets that would change it all 
If we both should know. 

These bright secrets that are happy 
We want to give away, 
But fear makes us silence them 
And hide them every day. 

Secrets that are neatly tied 
Are never meant to show, 
But if the wind sheds light once more 
Everyone will know.
