Secret Love

in trying to escape
away from you
i touch other faces
kiss other lips
and make love
with other bodies

nights and days
looking for peace

it did not really work
despite the cork

i still love you
i still miss you
even in sleep
in the middle
of my dreams
i still want you

let me face you now, though,
but still, i won't really tell you

(i love you. i really love you)
