This is the Best Kept Secret

This is the Best Kept Secret

This is the best kept secret

For you will never know,

Of aching in empty beds without you

Of the future that does not lie before us.

By stealth I will not see you;

A camouflage of happiness to be near you

A conspiracy of words to hush my body language,

Cloak and daggered in the car inches away from touch.

For we will never be as god’s spies,

My chicken hearted espionage will not allow it.

I comfort myself with discreet contact in public places,

Ache for the private places you share with another.
