What are you hiding
What cant I see
There must be something
you are hiding from me.
I think you dont love me
With our marriage you are bored
But the real reason behind it
Sure had me floored!!!
You wear womens clothes
That came as a surprise
But I knew it went much deeper
When I saw the tears in your eyes.
You said your body is wrong
I cant understand.
I sit with you quietly
Just holding your hand
You start to tell a story
From childhood till today
A story from the heart
I want to run away
The man I love has gone
A stranger in his place
His clothes are all now different
But I still know that face
I cannot understand you
I will not try to pretend
But I cant let our marriage
Come to a bitter end.
I love you for your gentle ways
The way you make me laugh
The things I say on paper
Are probably only half
Of the reasons I stay with you
Our lives are still as one
From now until eternity
I will never ever shun
The real person inside of you
The woman you've become
Our lives are starting over
Our new one has begun.
