You Love Me Sometimes

You love me sometimes
            You love me when we’re alone
                        When no one can hear it
                                    It’s like you’re afraid
                                                Or embarrassed
                                                            Or ashamed…

You love me in front of strangers
            You’ll hold my hand
                        And kiss my neck
                                    And tell me loudly that I am loved
                                                But your friends are a different story

You love me when we’re in bed
            When you push your body into mine
                        And we share breath and sweat and kisses
                                    You tell me it’s not just sex; We’re making love

You love me when you look into my eyes
            You tell me you never stopped
                        It’s 5am and you don’t want me to leave
                                    It’s 5am and I’m so tired
                                                You look into my eyes and tell me you love me
                                                            And you kiss me goodnight

And I want to believe it’s all the time
            But why am I still a secret?
Why is there no answer when I call?
            Why do you look around to make sure your friends aren’t watching when we kiss?
Why do you make sure they’re out of ear shot
            before you whisper that you love me?
Why do I feel like you’re ashamed
            of me?

Take to the sky
