Analysis of Secrets
Tell me a secret and in return and I'll keep it locked in the bottom of my heart,
Only you will have the key, say the word and I'll let you open the door because ive guarded for so long
I'll hold those unspoken words until the hair on my head turns grey,even if those secrets taunt me I'll stay.
I'll let you lie to me; hurt me,break my heart
You'll always have the choice-
If you chose to leave me, I'll keep it secret,
I'll still wait for you until you come back.
Even if You betrayed me, I know you have secrets you won't tell me
Even if I beg and plead to be part of your secret.
