Secret of Me

I've kept it a secret
I've kept to myself
But as it turns out
My silence is Hell.

The desire to speak
Yearning to tell her
The things that I feel
When we sit together.

I've made a commitment
It won't be undone
But now I ask God,
"Could she be the one?"

Her smile consumes me
Her voice is my drug
Hard does my heart beat
I'm sick with this love.

But I'm too scared to tell her
I'm too scared to speak
Afriad to discover
What she thinks of me.

What would become
Of the friendship we share?
To some, it won't matter
Alas, I do care.

So for now I'll keep trying
Not to be "every guy"
And sleep at night feeling
Unnoticed inside.

Author notes

So... it finally hits me.  I've been trying so hard to just be myself -- trying to show that I'm not "every guy."  And I go to sleep every night feeling unnoticed.  It's both my curse and my joy.

    OK, so I wasn't going to write on these anymore, but Honestly I respect you so much for just keeping to yourself right now..I don't know who the lucky girl is..(ha ha no wait really i'm serious)..but your one of the most respectful guys I know..you may feel unnoticed, but your not! A lot of people see the way you stay strong to your commitments, respect girls as your sisters, you don't shoot other guys down to make you look good,your not afraid to take a stand in what you believe, and honestly thats what most girls look for in a guy.. You just have to keep trusting God like I've seen you do and He'll let you know if you've found the one.. (isn't God just Awesome!?!), but anyways, I'm praying for you and another thing Great poem!
    your sister,
