too long secrets i've kept,
songs of tears i've wept,
could you ever know?
would i let it show?

allusions lead to small advances.
i tend to keep cautious stances.
playful urges run amiss,
i can hardly handle this.

why do i find it so tough
to say the meaningful stuff
we can talk for hours on end
but my truth is always around the bend

if i could tell you now
i'd tell you how
i've always wanted to say
something about how special you are to me
but i can't today
