they know each other

they know each other
yet they avert their eyes
they know each other
but they try to hide
they have a history
known only to them
they've shared thier deepest desires
only as secret friends.
if others saw them together
they would be shunned
so they put on their acts
and keep on ignoring
memories lost
moments gone
him as a jock
her as a goth
they keep on walking
pretending not to care
yet now there's this feeling
that hangs in the air
a reminder
of what they use to share.

humans dont put what other people think aside. they cant deal with the fact that if someone doesnt approve then nothing can happen. we are all people.
i get that.
this is a great write. i love it.
and it makes me think about how
people really do care about who you are holding hands with down the halls and wondering--what do people think when they get dressed in the morning. in all fairness, i dont know what i would do if i was the jocks friend and i saw him with a girl who wasnt i guess one of our own. it would freak some people out...more or less.
