Secret Revealed...

I never had the chance
To tell you how I feel
So I’ll write it in this poem
Where everything will reveal

I know you may not see this
But if you ever do
I just want to let you know
That I have fallen for you

It’s already been a while
But that you never knew
Because I never showed it
It was something I couldn’t do

For my friend has also fallen
You’ve entered her heart too
And no one ever realized
It was why I felt blue

So I chose to stay silent
Not wanting to betray my friend
Every day I’d be wondering
When these feelings would end

I’d be scared to talk to you
Or even look you in the eye
Afraid that you’ll find out
What my heart’s trying to hide

So I kept a safe distance
A gap between you and me
Making sure not to get too close
Close enough for you to see

I tried hard to move on
Though it did me no good
My feelings just grew deeper
Deeper than it ever should

But I learned to hide these feelings
And was successful in doing so
Because no one ever found out
That it was my heart you stole

There finally came the day
When she liked you no more
I felt a spark of happiness
But the same sadness as before

As much as I wanted to be with you
It was already too late
You are now with someone else
And all I can do is accept this fate

It breaks my heart to pieces
Each time I see you two together
I think to myself maybe if I had told you
It’d be me you’re holding instead of her

I cannot blame anyone else for this
For the reason that I now regret
It is I who never took the chance
I silenced my heart every time we met

So now you know everything
All of the feelings I kept inside
I have nothing more to say
And I have nothing more to hide
