You Were My Best Kept Secret

you could be my best kept secret 
the type of secret i'd keep in a mason jar 
sitting on my windowsill 
sunlight shining through the darkest parts of you 

and as dust motes collect and float midair
i'll be there
with a gentle hand, ready to wipe off the dirt
like the sadness i wish i could relieve of you
