Mystery Together

Here's one from the archives that I don't think I've posted anywhere before.

She doesn't know about you
And I'm sure he doesn't know about me
Nobody is supposed to know
It spares everyone the hurt
I'll never know who you're thinking about
When your lips meet mine
But you don't know where my mind is
So we're both a mystery
But we both must remain a mystery
Letting others think
That "we" don't exist
That there isn't any "us"
So that nobody gets hurt
That we are under the cover of night
Under the covers together
In a place we don't belong
Because we can't seem to belong
To someone else
Without these feelings interfering
Pretending they don't exist
So that our real lives can go on
Escaping sometimes into fantasy
Where we explore something
That would destroy them
But keeps calling us back in
