the sky is blue

•_• hidden beneath the mask •_•

Each day I would do my thing.

I would go to school and get out.

But there was more to it than that.

There was her.

Life would go on,

passing me by without a glance.

But not her.

I was her best friend.

She was my best friend.

Or was she?

Throughout my life,

I was never an expert

at hiding my true feelings.

I would let them prevail.

I would showcase them and broadcast them.

But I tried so hard

to hide beneath a shell of my former self.

I tried so hard

to be that man behind the mask.

But there are times in life

when you have to step forward,

and show your true colors.

It was one of those times.

Show to her what I've been storing

inside a top-secret safe

deep inside my heart,

locked away for what seemed like an eternity.

I could never find the words,

written out or spoken,

to describe how much I love her.........................................
