There is a secret
place within
my heart-
a room kept
under lock and key-
where no one but you
has ever been-
or any other could
ever be-
where bitter sweet
memories of days
long past-
and love for you
still dwell.

I love another also
it is true-
but not as I loved you-
my first love-
the love of my life-
no other has the key
that unlocks the door
to the secret place
within my heart.
