My Secret Song

I’ve written songs so many times,

Just to reach you through these rhymes.

I couldn't say it face to face,

Afraid you'd never feel this place.

A hundred letters I have made,

Each one with love I’ve softly laid.

With every line, I still believe,

That somehow, you might just receive.

My secret song, my silent prayer,

A heart that loves with no despair.

You may not hear or even see,

But your name rings in every melody.

Each time you drift into my mind,

My heart beats fast, it’s so unkind.

I bear the truth I cannot claim,

Just smiling at your lovely name.

You, yeah it’s you,

Only you I’m writing to.

Every word and every line,

Still it’s you—every time.

My secret song, my silent prayer,

A heart that loves with no despair.

You may not hear or even see,

But your name rings in every melody.

And if the day should ever start,

Where this song reaches your heart,

You'll know behind each whispered line,

Is a love that’s always quietly mine.

My secret song, my hidden light,

Still shining even out of sight.

You may not feel or understand,

But I love you—

and I hope someday...
