The Secret He Doesn't Know By: Suzanne Shugart
A tear drips from my eye, and yet he still acts like he doesn't know why. He sits there like a doll; he has no feelings and no emotions. " Are you crying", he asks like a joke. "Look she is crying", he says laughing. I turn my head away; I want to cry and yet I harvest hatred for him right now. Still, he acts like he does not know . He doesn't know something though; a secret I have kept from him for far too long. The fact is that I like him, but he can be a jerk sometimes. He laughs and makes others laugh; he is a good friend but just that. For so long I have pretended not to like him, always hiding my feelings inside. I know before, he has only ever dated maybe one girl that his best friend has not already dated. So, I sit there letting my tears slowly drip knowing that he will never know. I wish to tell him, but (since I am a tomboy and grew up around guys) I know that would only make things worse because it always does. A secret he does not know is buried in my heart; it wants to get out but knows to stay hidden. Another tear drips , but I do not wipe it away. I must wonder ' If he knew would the tears stop or start anew?' I can not tell him the secret he doesn't know. So, I cry.
P.s. please help me keep this secret
