Everyone has secrets,
though I'm an open book.
I have secrets too,
though it's just because you don't ask.
If you asked me I'd tell you them,
though I'm afraid of how I'll look.
My heart is not so guarded.
Your words could cut me deep,
but you can tell me anything,
for your secrets I will keep.
I wonder if when I disappear,
you will even know,
for I am sure I will at some point.
It seems I always do.
And when I am gone She will take my place,
along with feelings true.
My friendship and my sympathy,
my caring,
all will remain yours.
The rest will be forgotten,
locked behind those doors.
If by chance you miss me,
tell her and I'm sure
She will
