it’s something
to admit it for once
not for all,
just you there.
but it’s been around
so long I can’t say
how easy
this will be
to share with you.
but it’s coming
out with a smirk
not guilty or mean
but obvious, true
the secret is:
they weren’t new.
those songs I shared
have been mine for a while
girl after girl
smile after smile.
