Dear John
When your lover breaks up in a note so you can't talk him out of it.
We won't be a secret anymore
Our gay love is a secret Paradoxically There are no secrets between us Not supposed to be The more fiercely hidden The more outrageous are The chances we take We've taken some big ones As if we want to get caught We do. Don't we? The bigger the secret The more it seeks exposure At first it hides in the closet Then it hikes the forest Where no one can see us Then it strolls in the park Then lunch at a busy restaurant Holding hands in public Who we are is a secret But our gay love is obvious We may be on the down low I think everybody knows Our love is for the ages There are no secrets between us And one day We won't be a secret You won't feel shame or guilt After taking all those chances Instead pride & hope will fill your heart We have no secrets between us And some day We won't be a secret anymore. Theme Song for this Poem "Ready to Take a Chance again" Barry Manilow Foul Play 1978
