Opening The Cupboard

My secret

Exposed

She knows now

There’s no hiding it

It didn’t hurt like I thought it would

She didn’t hate me for it

How long has she known?

Was it that obvious?

I guess it was

I always thought that I hid my feelings

I guess I don’t

Because I overreact

Too much

Was I always in between?

Have I been hiding and showing at the same time?

Has it always been like this?

But I’m sure of one thing

The cupboard has been opened
