I used to love out loud but not anymore
There was a time when my love
Like the coat of many colours
Was shown off to anyone I fancied
But I have learned..
Learned that the ones you love can be cruel
They can eat your love and spit it out
They can rip your coat to shreds as you watch
I have learned to love silently
To wait..
To be sure before falling
Sure before giving
Sure before loving
I have learned to hide my love
