I thought there was something
To everything
And nothing interested me
About anyone
So, I went about my life
Keeping secrets I would
Never share with everyone.
And the secret is
I wouldn’t have
If I had someone.
So still, my lips are closed
To open ears
The secrets long forgotten
With the passing of the years
And oh, my friends
What I would give
Now that the time is gone
To have given of myself
So that my song
On the lips of another
Might carry on
And on and on.
LOL. I was probably all of 21 when I wrote this. “Now that the time is gone…” Such the hyperbolist!
