Secrets

Secrets in a special place That I wish you could know, Bundles that are neatly tied And never meant to show. Did you see past the curtains? Did my secret get to you? Did the light behind them catch your eye When the wind once blew? I wonder if it's possible That you have a secret too. I thought I saw a flash of light When the wind reached you. Secrets that could hurt us Or that could make us grow, Secrets that would change it all If we both should know. These bright secrets that are happy We want to give away, But fear makes us silence them And hide them every day. Secrets that are neatly tied Are never meant to show, But if the wind sheds light once more Everyone will know.
