Secret


"Hello," you say, "Goodmorning. How've you been?"

All I see is heaven

Lights and glory all in one.

 

It's how you carry yourself,

Carry yourself away from me

Carry yourself, carry yourself away from me please.

 

Because I can't take another glance 

Or heartbreak

I say it's in your laugh that tickles my insides

Or your infinite expressions of life.

 

It's how you carry yourself,

Carry yourself away from me

Carry yourself, carry yourself away from me please.

 

There is no end

Only "start"s and "go"s with you

 

All of this went unsaid

Now we're older and wed

Kids of my own

But they'll never know

Of this little secret love

 

Because you

Carried yourself

Carried yourself away from me.

CU Boulder bound! I enjoy singing (in my shower), writing (poetry), dancing (Zumba haha), hiking (Colorado is perfect for this), and finding new places. I love people and God.
