Dreading the Last Time I Lie

The closer we grow,

The more intense I feel,

Because I know,

I'm lying to him,

And the last thing,

I want to do,

Is to hurt him.

This is all new to me,

Every single bit,

And I feel much too young for this,

But I know it's real,

Because I can feel it.

I can feel it in the way he holds me,

When our lips touch.

I can feel it in the way he grasps my hand,

When he's scared to say something out loud.

I can feel it in the way he touches my cheek,

As if I'm the most delicate thought,

He has ever come across,

And I feel it in the moments when all we can do,

Is stare into each other's eyes,

And not speak a word,

Until the other must leave,

Because we know someday,

It will be the last day,

Our eyes ever meet.

That is the day I dread,

Especially if that day comes,

And he knows nothing,

That is the truth of me.

That is the day I dread.
