Unspoken Words

Here I am
standing now
in front of my
wall, leaning
on the sturdy
stone hoping
for support,
but not balance.
I'm not hiding,
or cowaring like
I've grow accustom
to. I'm ready to
let you in on one
little secret,
just one that's
been stuffed behind
all the other baggage
that's piled up behind
my wall. Ok...here it
goes...I love you.
Ok, I said it, that
wasn't so bad. However,
there's only one catch
to this secret...
you can't tell anyone.  
You can't even speak
of it with me, because
I'm still hoping I'm not.
In fact this is one
of those secrets you
hide behind your wall.
YES! That's a good idea
stuff it behind all your
baggage that's piled high
behind your wall, and someday
when you're cleaning
up back there
you'll find it...
and you'll remember why you
forgot it in the first place.
Because I could never
say it to you, and
you would never
think it in the first
place. So just
ignore my constant
rambling and continue
on like I never
ventured out beyond
my saftey net aka...
my wall, like nothing
was ever said and
unspoken words were
left as they should
be...unspoken.
