You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath.
I am happy that we’re together, but it also hurts me that you never tell others about our relationship.
I love how we keep our relationship private to avoid interference, but it also hurts me that no one knows about us.
Others will ask if you have a partner, but you always deny it and say that it’s not a big deal and they shouldn’t know about us. That hurts me so much.
Even your friends, cousins, and family don’t know about us, and the same goes on my side. Sometimes, I wish that they knew about our relationship.
I sometimes wonder how it feels to be publicly acknowledged, to be mentioned in random stories, or to be openly loved.
The question that is always on my mind is “how does it feel to be loved so loud?”
With you, I never experience being acknowledged, mentioned in stories, or known by your family and friends.
I sometimes wish that they could see how we love each other, how we care for each other, and how happy we are together.
Will they be jealous if they witnessed all the things we do for each other? I bet they will be jealous when they see how we treat each other.
Thinking about these things makes me smile bitterly because they never knew, and you never shared about us.
That’s why they don’t know about us, and they never did.
