Secrets

Complacent but unsure, he takes her hand

Promising her things she'll never understand

Watching as her eyes gleam with surprise

She tells him the truth and holds back the lies

He takes her in his arms forgetting the rough patches they've been through

Not knowing she held so many secrets but trying to stay true

Saying that she's happy with him by her side

Knowing he'll never know all the secrets she cleverly hides

Telling herself it's better for him not to know

Trying to convince herself froward is where they'll always go

Clueless, the guy takes her for who she is

Telling himself nothing in life was bigger than this

Because time with her was better than time alone

But he sleeps at night waiting by the phone

Waiting for her to call but she's out there losing herself

Giving her lust to someone else

But once he's clever enough will he ever let her go?

Or will she hide it well and never let him know?
