Secret

"No one will ever know but us."
And so, we hold
it deep inside ourselves
like awkward weight,
tying us together with strings
we couldn't sever if we tried.
We have watched each other cry
and promised never to forget,
never to doubt,
never to lose sight of
what happened,
what will happen,
what we know.
"Do you realize that in the same month and year that your life changed forever, so did mine? God sent you to me, then. You felt like you were running away from something, but you were running toward something else. You were sent to find me. It took you a long time, but here we are. And thank God. Thank you, God, for that."
"What would have happened if I didn't wave you over. What would I be to you? Nothing. And I would still be lost. We would have been in the same room and never known."
Deep beyond the surface, all the mess,
We have faith, and we trust that this is bigger
This is stronger.
This is better than every other time we wanted these things because
this
SECRET
binds us tight.
