Practical Application

Let's say one of us owns a secret
and the other will not tell,

hope it's true
that we've got a clue,
so our integrity doesn't go to hell.
 

Say one of us had a feeling
that the other could not share,

only you or I
could make the other cry,
proving only we two care.




Now and then I get an answer
that can slap me in the face,

being not the one
leaves me so undone,
I hate dwelling in this place.




Now a practical application
overwhelms my weary soul,

I try not to mind
but it seems so unkind,
reality sure takes it's toll.




Pray-tell while in this quandary
I won't lean too hard on you,

if my world seems gray
you don't have to stay,
our "pact" remains true blue.




So let us never linger
on what will never be,

you're still my friend
so let us not pretend,
that the both of us can't see.
