this ache
my heart attached itself to you
so long ago
when you were my keeper
before you were my friend
and now i seek you
pleasantly and accidently
we express in sentences
the words no one else will speak of with me
and i supress internally
the words i only speak of
to everyone else.
i remember when you learned the truth about me
in the stories of someone else
i love dearly
i hope you know
i love dearly.
