Secret Place
I remember when
We talked for hours into the night.
I remember when
You held me tight and I stayed close.
We had our secret place.
Deepest fears and thoughts shared.
Please forgive me.
It's gone.
All time spent is but a memory.
Where did it go?
I stare curiously into
The deepest parts of your eyes.
There was a promise.
I'm in our secret place,
Longing for it all to repeat.
You held me in your embrace.
Now I'm searching for the key
To the lock in your heart.
All the while, it's still a mystery.
So I'll sit here and wait,
Key in hand,
In the place where the promise was made,
Our secret place.
….because
I love you.
