A Story I Will Never Tell

You and I are a story I will never tell.

I will never tell this story for many reasons,

but none of those reasons are the ones you think.

It is not because I am ashamed,

of myself,

of you,

of us.

It is not because I still love you.

It is not because I want to forget you.

It is not because you hurt me.

All of those reasons,

don't compare to the reality that you left me in.

I will never tell the story of us,

that I am certain of.

I will never tell the story of us for one simple reason.

I will never tell the story of us because,

our story is not anyone else's,

our story is not for public consumption.

Our story,

is for you,

for me,

for us.

No one else gets to know how much I loved you,

no one else gets to feel what I felt when I was with you.

That is why our story will be kept safe,

in the vault of my heart.

I will take our story to the grave.

I will take our love to the grave.

So, I hope you can forgive me when I say,

our story is one I never plan on telling.
