I know you care for me
in ways I may not appreciate.
I know you might feel
things only my imagination could create.
But I am contented with the Now we have
though a Future will never be.
We see each other in a way
only Secret Lovers could see.

If this is the farthest we could reach;
If this is the closest we could get;
I'll get by on these ifs
If only not to have regrets.

For it would be a crime
to wish for something more for us.
For it would be selfish
If I ask you to remove your mask.

Not everything about us should be suppressed,
Sometimes it is better to let it be.
Who knows someday it'll come as a surprise
It has always been you and me.
