Tell Me

By: Tyler R. Converse

I see couples
Holding hands, exchanging glances.
Smiling. Smiling at a secret only they know.
Knowledge I long to know.

Tell me.
Share your secret with me.
Tell me the story of your love,
How you came to discover it.

Was it instant?
Did her smile brighten your world?
Did she make you forget your pain?
Did he show you how beautiful it is?

Did he teach you not to be afraid?
Did he dry your tears
With the sentiment of his heart?
I see them.

Do they realize how lucky they are?
It would be easier if I were envious,
But my desire,
It grows stronger with each day.

I need to love,
To be loved.
I want to share in that knowing glance
With someone as he holds my hand.

Tell me your secret.
