Secret trading: one for one,
Starts off simple ends up with someone,
Confessing something so deep you wonder if it should have remained hidden;
knowing if you continue this game,  it cannot be undone.
Behind the safety of your screen, you wonder if you’ll still be accepted,
Toying with the keys on that board, your fingertips already sweating.
You could potentially ***** this up, but never knowing is surely a slow torture,
At least if you get it out now, you’ll never again have to wonder.
So you type the message in…and you stare at it for a couple of minutes,
Your finger hovers over that deadly option…the one that can potentially change everything.
You close your eyes and do it anyway, and brace yourself for the worse,
The seconds that pass feels like a lifetime, your heart feels like it is going to burst.
Until you hear a little sound, a tiny message awaits,
You open it with bated breath, hoping that it’ll say…
Anything from reciprocated feelings, or understanding and empathy
A message saying ‘you’re not alone’ anything you wanted it to be.

Secret trading: one for one,
Starts off simple, can end up with someone;
Grateful  for the positive experience and a feeling of relief,
Or an awkward silence with both parties wishing, that what happened could be undone.
