Secrets
They were just simple secrets, thoughts that had been locked and hidden away from the world inside our minds. We decided to write them all down and then show them to the other. We didn't know what we would unlock, what we would find out about this person that we have already shared everything with. As I read line after line of secrets some I knew and some I didn't know, I felt as if I was being handed her trust in these words. And when she read mine I stared at the wall or the floor hoping she wouldn't question certain ones. And then she did, I felt my face blush because I knew the answer to the question but I didn't want to say it because I was afraid of her reaction. We uncovered more secrets about ourselves and then the other. We tried so hard to keep them from getting to us but it kept playing back on my mind like an old record that has a scratch on it and won't stop playing the same phrase over and over and over again.
Some secrets should stay locked away I think. Because now that we knew everything, I felt exposed as if my secrets were a sheild and now I was vulnerable to everything around me. I didn't know how she felt but I knew that I felt weak now and had to trust that all my secrets would stay between the two of us. I had horrible issues involving trust that is something I can admit and so it scares me to know that I have shared stuff with her in the few monthes I've known her compared to the years I've known other people. She's just different, I know I can trust her that isn't the problem, the problem is that I feel embaressed, vulnerable, scared and worried. My secrets have been exposed and some of them I'm not sure if I should have let been exposed. Tears fall from my eyes, and I try to wipe them away but they continue to fall because I didn't only find someone I can tell all my secrets too, I found trust, love, and so many other emotions that I don't know how to explain. We know everything about the other and I feel we are more connected then we ever will be thanks to a few forgotten and somewhat embaressing thoughts. I am glad that I found her and will always be greatful for her no matter where the path may take us. She understands me and I understand her. She accepts me and I accept her. We are friends, we are sisters and I thank her for everything.
