A Time When Only You Knew

A moment for the truths in you
A moment when you can be true
A time when only you knew
When its moments yourself to never know who

Did you know to admit?
Those of things you have done or did
Times in trouble for you to meet
Yet times in trouble you will seek

As often to tell yourself not to
As often… you will tell yourself to do
Funny how to have a life only to rule
When you know how no one knows you

We all need another to survive
Without telling us truthfully as to only feel
Even strangers play a part for us all to strive
Of moments often too late when to know is knew

Will you give yourself that moment?
A moment to you know how to be true
Would you have known for a return…
Will be a time when only you knew
