Post Secret

You are my Post Secret.
Every day I look for ways to
Slip you into a library book
Or leave you under a coaster
In my favourite cafe.

You are my Post Secret.
It’s absurd, the way a word
From you can soothe,
And bind a wound, bring a smile,
Shine light on a dark day.

You are my Post Secret.
And the biggest secret of it all
Is that I’ve carried you too long,
Cared too much, cried myself too blind
To see: you’re not worth this hurting at all.
