Once I gave my heart to another Gave myself to them Totally and with no shame And this gift was taken And returned in like fashion This person I knew like no other Their secrets, fantasies, fears All were known to me And the knowledge was cherished Except one fear, or secret Or perhaps a fantasy Which I will never know For that one thing eluded me All that we shared All the love we felt All was left apart from this one thing As I sit apart from her She did not hide it from me It was easy to see That we did not share everything She made it quite plain that There was one thing left unspoken And she would not, could not Tell me what it was She just stared at the floor Eyes open, but seeing nothing This one thing unspoken The hidden thing I cried out and begged the Heavens To tell me what it was we didn't share To impart unto me the thing I didn't know But the Heavens, like her, did not answer me And even now, with the passage of time There is still no answer I still do not know what lay hidden from me And I fear I will never know She will not, can not, tell me And the Heavens still do not answer my lonely plea
