My Secret Life

In his sleep he holds me
And never lets me go
In reality he wouldn't
So I know he doesn't know

He doesn't want to touch me
Or even get too close
Because in his mind his pride's too high
And that's what he cherishes most

He loves me in secret
And hides it from his self
He doesn't want the world to know
That his heart never left

He is distant
Yet so close to me
We live in the same house
Yet it's always me instead of we

I will let him hold me
Secretly you see
Because my heart cries for him
And wants us to forever be....
