Saw her the other day by the swing set <br />Sitting there all by herself, seeming all upset <br />Looking up, gazing back at me; boy, did I just die? <br />Wish I wasn't so shy <br />Threw my head to the ground <br />Panic in fear, couldn't make a sound <br />If only I was just a bit braver <br />She'd know by now just how I'll never feel the same for another <br />Like a squirrel buries it's nuts; I bury the secrets deep within <br />Just waiting to explode straight through the skin <br />To describe every butterfly I got for this gal <br />Then she'll understand my rationale <br /> <br />When you're sad; I'll make you laugh. <br />When you need somebody by your side; I'll be there. <br />When you're sick; I'll feed you chicken noddle soup. <br />When all you want is somebody to care; I'll bring you, I'll bring you a thousand roses. <br /> <br />Could search high and low all over the world <br />Won't find a finer girl <br />On my mind twenty-four seven <br />Lost my heart to hazel eyes at eleven <br />No more is this a six grade boy crushing <br />See her talking to a friend; can't help but make me smiling, blushing <br />Sending me butterflies, and she doesn't even know it <br />Thinking I might have been love bit <br />I love you, I love you, I love you; I shout from the highest mountain <br />And I'll scream it again and again <br />One more time just for the heck of it; figure I'll make it two <br />I assure you, my love is true <br /> <br />When you cry; I'll wipe your tears. <br />When you're cold; I'll keep you warm. <br />When your heart's in pain; I'll give it a kiss and put a band-aid on top. <br />When you ask how much I love you; I'll tell you, I'll tell you like a fat kid loves a candy bar at fat camp. <br /> <br />If only she knew that I existed <br />My heart wouldn't be so twisted <br />So for now I'm just her secret lover <br />One day I won't need to hide undercover<br /><br />Kevin Dion<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/secret-lover-9/
