I kept my secret in a notebook
the one with papers of different kind
bound by hand
a gift from you
I wrote how much it meant to me
because it came from you
I wrote how I truly felt about you
how I see you as more than a friend
I divulged everything
and that notebook kept it safe
and it still does
now that I lost you to another
this notebook that you gave me
is my closest friend
and the secrets it holds will forever be
just there until the pages fade
and it’s lost to nothing but memories
