I have a secret,
don’t tell it to the others.

For the longest time,
it’s been kept to myself.

If you listen close,
you must listen with your heart.

This is not gossip;
it’s deep, but in no way dark.

Will you listen,
and promise to keep silent?

Make a promise,
and never break this pact.

—

I miss him,
despite his carelessness.

I miss him,
despite my cold silence.

I miss him,
and the times we shared.

I miss him,
with all my heart and soul.

I miss him,
but his lack of respect for me.

It's torn me apart;
brought me to my weakest misery.

When desperate,
I’ve gone to him seeking help.

When I loved her,
it was a joke to him.

And when she left,
he didn’t understand.

I wanted to die,
and he called my suffering weakness.

So I lied,
but I still burned inside.

And I cried alone,
While on the outside nothing was wrong.

While inside,
I slowly fell apart.

—

If only once,
he could understand me.

For once,
and say something real to me.

I would be happy again.
