The Secrets We Keep

We say that we are being honest, and that’s what we want in return. But we all have secrets to keep, actions speak louder than words.

Sometimes they are our secrets, some for friends that we keep. Some can be very obvious, some are hidden down deep.

Sometimes they are simple, no harm would be done if told. Sometimes the secrets we keep, would cause havoc to unfold.

You can have a shared secret, that is kept from others you know. But they eventually become known, as they expand and grow.

Sometimes our lovers have secrets, and it’s the reality that we fear. Our hearts already know the truth, but we still accept what we hear.

Sometimes we are not as happy, as we thought we would be. But the secret of convincing others, is what might make it a reality.

Sometimes people can see our secrets, a mistake we are trying to hide. Sometimes an outsider looking in, can see them in our eyes.

Sometimes we keep a secret, to avoid hurt feelings to some. And sometimes it’s to avoid, a relationship coming undone.

The reasons for secrets are different, there is no one that is immune. What seems like a secret to me, might just be the silence from you.

Some will deny they have secrets, that make it hard to sleep. But everyone has secrets, that we feel the need to keep.
