To My Secret Lover
i wish it was you and me, the way it should be
mistakes were made and our time escaped
stealing our true chance for romance
i want you and you want me, but we cannot be
we love in secrets concealing our passion from outside eyes
peeling the layers of our clothing as i crumble the walls guarding my heart
my lips adorn your body with encoded messages
the secrets my kisses whisper along your skin
only the two of us can understand
i tried convincing myself it was only infatuation
but the way your eyes, lips, and fingertips connect with mine
infatuation is too far of an understatement to describe the desire the two of us confine
if you’ll let me
i will interlock the pain in your heart with the healing in mine
i will submerge you in the depths of my ocean unleashing our deepest devotions
i will awaken your inner euphoria exiling the afflictions that keep you from me
i await the day i can finally unapologetically love you
but until then, you’ll remain my secret lover
the one i share my heart and soul with
under the protection of the cover
