For Another

Those feelings that you hold
So close to your heart,
Those emotions that you rarely
Share with the outside world,
I want you to save it for another.

A time will come when those
Secrets are meant to pour from your lips
And into to soul of your partner,
But we both know it's not for me.

There was once a moment I thought differently
And tried my best to unlock your true self,
But my key was not a match,
And your silence let me know.

So fuel the fire that burns inside
And find that key that opens everything
You hold dear, everything you cherish,
And let my shadow dissolve with the rest.
