“Secrets I am all secrets now. I know when you walk into a room. I don't need to see or hear you behind me, but I know you're there and wish you'd touch my shoulder when you walk by. How can you do that, without a sound, send electricity, a current through a room full of people? When did this crazy secret life start? People see me but don't see I've changed. The me people see isn't the tangled me inside, trying not to think about you, your laugh splashing like a waterfall on a hot summer day.” — Pat Mora
Secrets
I am all secrets now.
I know when you walk into a room.
I don't need to see or hear you
behind me,
but I know you're there
and wish you'd touch
my shoulder when you walk by.
How can you do that,
without a sound,
send electricity,
a current
through a room full of people?
When did this crazy secret life start?
People see me but don't see
I've changed.
The me people see isn't the tangled
me inside,
trying not to think
about you,
your laugh
splashing like a waterfall
on a hot summer day.
