The Secret

Do they know what I know?
What you fail to show?
Or must this always be a secret?
I don’t know how much longer I can keep it.

Baby, love is too powerful a thing to hide
Trust me, I know, I’ve tried.
I’d rather to have died … a terrible, horrible death
Than continue to hide the love that I’ve felt

Not puppy love or something that can even be confined to words
It permeates my existence. Everything I do, say or have heard.
It’s all tied to this one word, this one emotion, this one feeling and
Hiding it though, you asked me to keep it hidden, make sure it’s concealed and

I’m just not sure I can do that.

Maybe I just move too fast when it comes to this
But come on baby, we’re not amateurs.
I know I fumbled on the last play but I’ve never been more sure,
I love you

Do you love me? Do you feel me?
When I say I love you, do you hear me?
Is it too much? Are you listening?
Do you fear me?

Does it scare you? How much I’d give for you?
How much I live for you?
I wish I could stop but then again I don’t.
I won’t.

But I can’t .. I can’t lose you.
Even if it means hiding the truth
A burden I’ll gladly shoulder
As long as it brings me closer

To you and your love.
You know what your love does … to me
I offered my heart to you, you can keep it.
While I die slowly, keeping our secret.
