I said the one thing I knew would draw out the truth from you

and I don’t regret it.

Because you opened up to me for the first time, and I got to know everything about you, nothing was left hidden.

The truth was out and it was a sunny day outside, you could feel the weight of it all just drop from your shoulders  when you were done talking.

There were many tears that fell from your eyes that day and, many secrets that spilled from your lips.

One’s I will keep safe with me until the day I take my last breath on this earth, but for now I just want to draw out all the things that make you feel alone and helpless on your darkness days.

Secrets!

I want to say that the words don’t keep popping up in my head

but they do and there isn’t a day that it doesn’t feel so sad.

There isn’t a moment when I don’t just want to say them and

it would be so easy and so freeing.

But, the timing is never right or the day just slips away and then

it’s to late.

The emotions bubble up inside and the tears threaten to fall but

I hold it all in and just think of it all and I wonder is it worth saying

out loud.

Or should I just keep it within me locked up like a box full of

secrets no one should know or just to precious to share.

Sometimes a little mystery is good, can’t let out all my secrets

Then I won’t have something to hide or share when the timing

is right.
