I knew the day would come
When you would ask me
That question
I didn’t
Want to answer

Shock momentarily
Races
Through my veins
The choice must
Be made

To tell the truth
Or
Hide it a little longer

I chose
To tell you
But asked that
You wait longer
For me to explain it

I’m not ready yet
Just know
That YOU
Are what’s important now
And not what happened
Back then
