Secrets and Spoons - Bao Binh
Every day at half past five
A knock, a smile, he's still alive
Asking Mom for something sweet
But I knew what he came to meet
I'd steal a glance, I'd look away
But waited for him every day
Dinner felt so strange and slow
If he didn't show, I'd barely glow
They said he's older, wise and tall
But I just saw no age at all
We'd meet in places no one knew
And laugh at things we shouldn't do
Fools and secrets, hearts on fire
Hiding from the world's desire
Stumbling steps and hashed-up books
Love between the missing books
Fools and secrets, hush and run
We never kissed beneath the sun
But when he smiled I couldn't breathe
He took my heart, he stole my peace
One museum trip at noon
The silent halls of blushing swoon
He leaned in fast, I slipped away
Fell down hard and lost the day
He helped me up, our eyes did meet
The pain and rot, the moment sweet
Another kiss that would never land
My heart it fell beneath his hand
They say he married someone new
But every night I think it through
He left with more than just my side
He left a wish that still won't die
Fools and secrets, hearts on fire
Hiding from the world's desire
Stumbling steps and hashed-up books
Love between the missing books
Fools and secrets, hush and run
We never kissed beneath the sun
But when he smiled I couldn't breathe
He took my heart, he stole my peace
Now I sit at dinner still
Sometimes waiting for that grill
But nothing tastes like those days gone
When one shy look could turn me on
Fools and secrets, silent games
Burning fast without the flames
But love is meant to stay and grow
And I am lost in missing love
And that I know
