Dare you disclose your love?

2. You send the message. You can't help it, you love, and you disguise.
3. Your lover receives the message, looking, listening, touching.
4. He respects your privacy and does not disclose his love, not yet. He returns his own disguised glance, words, tentative contact.
5. You can remove your disguise, the truth is now locked within your lover's own disguise. You can present yourself as you are.
6. Your lover sees you undisguised and he removes his own disguise. You say nothing now. The message of love has already reached you both, successfully and privately communicated in the story of the exchange.
