You 'n' me

You ‘n’ me

Just you and me and secrets that you keep,

You’re under lock and key, so won’t lose any sleep!

You know all about my wrongs and rights

And those difficult plights throughout my life;

Turning back to have a peep, that opened

My eyes at times that made me weep.

From you there’s nothing that’s been hidden

Some things that should have been forbidden!

Maybe some things should have been forgiven!

And I regret and am deeply sorry as there

Have been times I’ve treated you badly

And sadly, to you I have not written.

You know of all my hopes and fears

I’ve shared with you some laughs and tears

And only you coz walls have ears!

Another page - a newer leaf,

I’ll try to keep precise and brief

With Integrity and my own beliefs.

You know me profoundly, inside-out

Everything there is to know - what I’m about!

After all these years of pen to paper,

From stress, problems and all those capers;

Into your safe hands my frustrations,

Relations, sensations and some temptations...

  

You have been renewed years at a time

You know when I’m sad or things are just fine

When life gets so bad, or even sublime!

All ups, downs, dilemmas, tight spots -

The times I tied myself in knots

And felt as though I’ve lost the plot!

All my achievements failures and aims,

A bad experience –a claim to fame!

Worries and woes with all my folks,

I’ve been provoked - my feelings evoked.

For you there will never be an expiry -

Life wouldn’t be the same if I had no diary.
