It’s been a while…

Been a bit overdue

That someone met the real me

Didn’t know it will be someone new.


And as you came in…

I really didn’t realise.

But you just saw through me

And it took you no time!


Now you know things…

That are known to a handful few.

And maybe some more…

That no one knew!


While I keep you hidden away from the world…

You have moved me enough to put down these words.


What we have between us 

I don’t think anyone will ever understand 

So let me just say this 

Thank you… my dear secret friend!


And I guess not many truly know you too…

At least not as well as I do!

How I wish I could make the world see…

The real you that you have shown me


And while I keep you hidden away from the world…

You have moved me enough to put down these words.


I just hope the world soon comes to realise…

There’s more to you than meets the eye

But let me just say this and not wait until then

I see YOU… my dear secret friend!


And we have known each other for quite a while now

But we have not had a dull moment yet 

Guess it’s how both of us are inside

Even when we are quiet, we just understand 


So it shouldn’t matter now…

Whether anyone else ever gets this or not 

Hope the love, affection, and conversations never end

Let’s be US always…my dear secret friend!
