Loving Can Be A Secret

my best friend who is a lesbian had a secret girlfriend for over a year and a half. it kills me they broke up over being too afraid of her being who she actually was on the inside

The relationship was secret
but the love was real.

These two couldn't possibly be a thing
they had to cage their love.

 

Sneaking brushes past one another
longing for the touches between classes
craving their lips pressed tightly against
the things other couples take for granted.

 

Secrets kill a relationship
fighting over whether to tell
arguing over who they actually were
the fights were tearing them apart.

 

She wanted to stay in the closet
her girlfriend wanted out

to tell the world, spread the love
now the relationships over
her tears hit the ground.
