No Such Thing As Secret Love

Ok, so I've been in love with this guy for some time now. We dated years ago and were planning to marry. Well, things didn't work out and he is now married and living....well, let's just say, he lives a world away from me. Well he claims he is still in love with me....ok, so I still love him too. 

No Secret

If I close my eyes and hold my breath
I can see you
Smiling up at me like you haven’t a care in the world,
As if no one will notice the longing you possess in your eyes for me,
Like our love were a secret…
It’s not you know,
It shines on my face
And resonates in every word I utter between my lips.
And you are no better
Every smile you smile tells of the love you have for me
Every glance you gaze off into the distance
Tells of the thoughts you have for me
The wanting that burns you up inside.
We think we’re hiding a secret,
But we’re not,
it’s all over our faces.
