Secret Truths
*this is a old poem I expanded into song, most of it written back in 2002,
it's about my now husband, obviously I told him how I feel but I kept
the ending in tact*
Secret Truths
You said hello
and my breath caught
silence was drowning
slowly like a pen drop
and you smiled
I was so gone.....
You told me your life story
bit by bit
I always wanted more
why is that?
and I would smile and nod
remembering every word you said
like you was a still photograph
I could look at when you was away
tell me you love me
I don't know where to begin
I am in love with my best friend
You taught me to dance
and I was such a klutz
two left feet though
never bothered you much
you would be patient
you would say,
"you will get it in time"
now I look and see
my feelings have crossed the line
tell me you love me
because I don't know where we end
but I am in love with my best friend
and maybe I have no right in telling
maybe you are not even interested
so I just continue to hold it in
