I want to know the secret
that you keep from me.
the secret from your past
that soon won't mean a thing.
you think i won't be there
when you need a hand,
when things don't work out
the way you planned.
i want to know your secret,
the one that's full of shame.
i will not look at you with disgust
and turn the other way.
i hate to see you hurt like this,
with such agony inside.
i want to be the one to help you
so you no longer have to hide.
this secret will not change things,
between you and i.
for it will only make us stronger
through this difficult time.
you know i will always be here,
when you finally decide,
your secret you will no longer hide.
