To secretly like a girl,
I’m careful not to smile long
enough
and reveal the sparkle in my eye
I keep it a secret
for she may never understand
I take refuge in swift, but sweeping
glances
sifting her from a thousand
nameless faces
For when we speak, I could never
look straight
the way I could never stare at the
sun
I keep it a secret
for she may never understand
To secretly like this girl,
I keep my lips sealed
although I want to tell her she’s
perfect for me
I keep it a secret
‘cause for her, this honest and
simple truth
may be a bitter pill to swallow
To secretly like this girl,
I muster all my strength to tell
no one.
I entrust my fragile secret
only to this blank sheet of paper
I keep it a secret
for she may never understand
Now this is the end of me
secretly liking this girl.
For outside this world of words,
it is a struggle
for a girl
to secretly like a girl.
