Tell me a secret

Tell me a secret.
I want to know
Of wounds and deceit
And terror and woe.

Of love and strength
And passion and joy.
Do you want children?
A girl or a boy?

How far can you count?
How far can you run?
How much do you do
Before the day is done?

Who do you love?
How close do you feel?
Do you think a future
Could ever be real?

Tell me a secret.
I want to know
Just who you are
Because I love you so.
