Such a Secret

by muffinhead   Sep 28, 2006


One day I woke up
Got into school
Saw you standing at the lockers
You were laughing and joking with your friends.

And I realized that I loved you.
So suddenly it scared me.
You see, we'd been down that path before.

It became hard to talk to you, to look at you.
It hurt because we'd been such friends.
But I felt that every time I spoke to you
I took the chance that all my feelings would come rushing out.

So I kept you a secret.
I laughed and I lied.
And when I was alone, I swore and I cried.
It was just so hard to keep you such a secret.

And then one day, not long ago
I come to school, looked around for you
(it's the first thing, you see, that every morning I do)
And there you are, holding her.
She's laughing, and your smitten, and I hate her.

And then come the friends, my friends and yours
They look at me sadly, they know for sure.
But how could they know, that you had my heart?
Turns out, they'd all known, from the very start.
I guess I'm not so good at keeping myself to myself.
I guess everyone got to share my big fall.
I guess you weren't such a secret after all.
