five minute confessions,
tissue paper hearts, and
all the things we won't tell each other.
i notice everything from
the way the doors unlock
to the way you turn your head when we hold each other.

i'm thinking of everything i should have said
and trying to forget everything i did.

and after every kept secret
and every confession,
second best is a luxury
compared to where i stand.
