Secretly

I'm holding a secret so dear.
It's filled with excitement and fear.
It's the sun and the moon.
The morning and afternoon.
It's the knowledge of the world and me.
It's the beauty beneath the sea.
It's the petals on a rose.
It's the secret no one knows.
It's the rainbow in the rain.
It's the stripe of a candy cane.
It's the clouds up in the sky,
but it's also the tears in my eyes.
It's the blood on a skinned knee.
It's the hurt of what used to be.
It's the darkness in the night.
It's the battle I have to fight.
It's the death in the grave.
It's the lion so strong, and brave.
It's the fire destroying land.
It's the thing I don't understand.
This secret nobody knew:
I secretly am in love with you.
