I kept your name to myself

Today I kept your name to myself

For the very first time

There was something to say about you

And I did not

I recognize the kindness of my friends

They not once asked me to shut up

When I am certain

Your name is not for them

The song it is for me

A year later here I am

For the very, very first time

Ready

Not to let you go

But to keep this hapless love

In the secrecy of my own self
