The first time I kissed your lips <br /> was on the banks of the Ohio. <br />We were fishin and you caught one <br /> laughed and said, ' Just let it go.' <br />Then one time beneath the cascades of <br /> Old Black Water Falls. <br />The sad part is I was alone; <br /> you weren't there at all. <br /> <br />[chor] <br />Oh in my thoughts and in my heart <br /> I've loved you with all that is in me. <br />From a distance I have hid my secret <br /> so that; you would never see. <br />Oh the ache, of having such a love <br /> that you can never show. <br />Kept locked away my love must stay <br /> because; you can never know. <br /> <br />Love at times I see a shadow <br /> pass across your precious face. <br />And I wonder; if you're wandering off <br /> to some far off place. <br />Is there someone in your heart you long for <br /> and someplace where you go? <br />The sad part is if that is true <br /> I don't; ever want to know. <br /> <br />[chor] <br /> <br />The only virtue of a secret love is <br /> it's easy to dis-claim. <br />Seems unfair something so beautiful <br /> could bring me so much shame. <br />So I'll lock it deep with-in my heart <br /> and throw away the key. <br />Then the only one who will ever know <br /> is this printed page; and me. <br /> <br />[chor] <br /> <br />So locked away my love must stay because; <br /> you can never know. <br /> c.d.m.2005<br /><br />cheryl davis miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-can-never-know/
