SECRET LOVE

A smile shared,
A brief kiss stolen.
Holding hands under the table.
Their eyes tell all, without words spoken.
A secret love, they could not reveal.
Perhaps, that’s what gave it,
Such appeal.
Stealing moments, floating in time.
Breath heavy, hearts pounding.
This love feels just like a crime.
Oh! But the joy!
To feel the blood rush through your veins.
It’s once again great to be alive, and awake!
No longer rising, every day
To a silent room of quiet heartbreak.
We never know, how long our time here will last.
Seconds, minutes, hours, days gone by, way too fast.
If a soul you find, wiling to stand by your side.
To walk with you, life’s bumpy path.
Tightly grasp their hand in yours, keep on walking, and
Never, ever think of turning back.
