can you keep a secret?

here we go. you know i know
you know, the stupid secret that is ever untold.
the me, pretty and sweet, and you
handsome with wit, cigarettes and long island sealed
with a kiss, each other's fingers linger
on each other's fingertips. you hate the songs
i love, i love the knot you hate,
and hate the way you play it safe.

here is the stupid secret that everyone knows,
years will yield and i will still
be wanting you so, and being proud of having
dared, to try, to sneak
my skin under your snow - sugary twist - here
is the stupid secret that nobody knows,
passers will pass and i will still
be the loveliest story you will ever unfold.
