it is necessary to keep quiet/truth&confession

i have never had to
hide
how i felt
about anything
before

but when you decide you're
sort of, kind of, just a little bit
in love
with a woman who you shouldn't be with
for more reasons than you can count on your
fingers and toes,
it is necessary to keep quiet

but she makes me
want to sing
and scream
and laugh
and cry

none of which are quiet actions

and so at night
when the world sleeps
i make all the noise i want
and keep quiet
in daylight

*

truth:
i feel very close to you. in a suitable, appropriate sort of way.
confession:
it's not enough.

truth:
i wait patiently and quietly until you glance at me. when you do, it is perfect.
confession:
but i need more.

truth:
in the morning i rise because i know i will see you.
confession:
often nights i stay up and i
think about you and wonder
if i make an appearance in the
night sky of your thoughts
like a crescent moon or
a pale planet
in a black blanket of clouds

truth:
we don't belong together. we could never work.
confession:
i would kill
to tell you how i felt
only because i believe
there is a pale planet's chance
in a midnight sky
that you will
understand

truth:
i know what i want from you is wrong.
confession:
that won't stop me.
