Secrets

Hey weren’t we like the two of them,
Once upon a time?

What was it we had that we lost,
That we didn’t even really have?

What was it that we had,
That we didn’t really keep?

Through tears and time,
What have we left?

Words we do not say,
Thoughts we cannot tell,

There is no we now,
Only you and I.

Words, time, us?
They are all Secrets now.

Once spoken, twice shy.
