Secret Never Sought

Looking in your eye is a secret
I hate to watch you leave me
Everyday I wish was two, making me that much closer to you
A bridge that never ends, and drops you back at start
The rope I just keep climbing with every twist and knot
We crouch to make you feel taller
Stare till you walk our way
Around you there is no other no matter what they say
Ill fall and let you walk
Like a rodent I chase my wheel 
Noticing the scene never changes 
Leaves are gone and flowers dead
All the charm of early season has fled
Rot is becoming our foundation
Im tired of waiting for the mail you never sent
A soul never polished
This secret you never sought
