Secret

You blew in

through the windows

of my heartbeats,

and nestled your way

into the warm crevices

of my mind.

Silently watching as

people came in and out,

as experiences lingered

and knowledge grew.

You smiled at the rare

pops of arrogance,

fully aware that you had

only to knock

for me to float back down

from the pedestal I

thought I rode.

So silent is your confidence

in keeping me grounded

that it’s truly no wonder

I call you

my best kept secret.
