I have been told I keep a secret well,
oh yes, tell me any deep, dark and personal thing;
and I will keep it under wraps- you can trust me,
to keep it in a locked drawer and throw away the key.
Now, tell me everything while I make us tea.
Don't feel shy, we are behind closed doors,
you have my solemn promise I will keep it confidential;
our conversation is top secret and classified,
you have my curiosity- you must be hiding something serious.
Is it about a secretive lover quite mysterious,
oh do tell, I am starting to get delirious.
Yes, I know you are a very private person,
and like to keep your personal problems to yourself;
but revealing what you have concealed will make you free,
I have known you for years and your life to me is still invisible.
Now, here is your tea and are you cozy- need a snack,
maybe some wine to loosen your lips a crack;
remember, whatever it is I have your back.
I will sit and listen as you tell me your secret story,
and say nothing except to nod and smile as we go along;
so, you have a lover you keep on the sly,
and you meet in a secluded place in disguise.
More tea- and you send each other secret mail,
that you both destroy so there is no message trail;
its my boyfriend! Okay, tell me each pathetic detail.
