Stars

Do you see the stars?
The same stars that I see.
They twinkle off.
They twinkle on.
We're not so different.
No, not you and I.
A mask covers me, my true identity.
It twinkles on and off.
Only you can see.
Please don't tell the others.
If known they'd hate us both.
I know you see the stars.
The same ones that I see.

This was written for one of my stories (titled If I Asked You To). It's from the point of view of the main character, Lane, though I've found that it applies to me, too.
