A Quiet Evening…. Poem by Ben Huff

Out of the blue
You snuck up on me
How you made me true
If just you could see

I’ve been running, and searching
For what, I don’t know, Love
A play my heart keeps bearing
Looking for that fearless dove

But I take it in stride
Make it all seem like a lie
Keep everything inside
Say nothing to even try

I’ll keep this one thing to myself
A secret between ourselves
It’s high up there on the shelf
If only it fell

Smiling for you
Though I can’t think of the reason why
This remains true
I have a feeling you’re going to make me cry

Walking straight ahead for me
For perhaps the last time
