My Secret
As I sit here tonight,
Like so many nights before
I realize that behind me now
You will soon walk through the door
So many nights I’ve sat alone
And in my heart I would debate
Because there was no one coming home
And no reason for me to wait
But tonight, I wait for you to come
When you finally make it here
When your working day is done
And I can once again feel you near
Perhaps I haven’t told you
But I think that you should know
As much as I hate when you leave
I love it when you make it home
And there you are, I hear the door
And I turn as you walk in
And every time I see you there
I feel those butterflies again
You come to me, with a kiss
And ask, “How was your night?”
I am thinking inside me
“Now that you’re here, it’s all right.”
Though I forget at times to say
How important to me you are
I hope you truly understand
That I love you with all my heart
Because as I sit here in my chair
And my back is turned to you
I wipe away a silent tear
Because you are my dream come true
So if sometimes I seem distant
And you wonder why I cry
Know that you’ve done nothing wrong
It’s just the pain I hold inside
Because I do not feel worthy
Of the love you give so freely
And I wonder how I would survive
If you ever were to leave me
I know this isn’t what you pictured
When you came to give your love
And I regret so much that’s happened
And often feel I’m not good enough
You aren’t what makes me feel this way
I just want so much for you
And inside the reason for my tears
Is that I’m not your dream come true
But you should know that deep inside
There is so much love I hold
And at times it overwhelms me
I wish I could let it show
But until I can find my strength again
And can share these words so true
I hope you truly understand
I am so in love with you
