What he doesn't know

In a crowded middle school hallway
She held the hand of a nice boy
She smiles and pretends to like him
He was sweet to her in his nerdy way
She didn't want to hurt him
But she didn't want to date him
She kissed him on the cheek for show
Because she wouldn't kiss him on the lips
She'd been pressured into this
Living a lie every day and for what
To spare a nice persons feelings
To end a rumor that tormented her
To pretend to fit in for once
This had to end before she went crazy
She turns to him and says it's over
He's hurt but she stays strong
He'll never know the reason it didn't work
Because she was a lesbian
But no one needs to know that
It wouldn't have helped anyway
