Do You Want To Know A Secret
On any given night there are two hearts, never before entwined, which are destined
for each other. Well contained and concealed from each others
reach only the secret words, "I love You", can release them.
Once spoken the two hearts
will burst from their area of confinement, race into each other, grabbing hold
and dance in the rain of joy, tapping in the puddles of their passion, splashing
droplets of magic in every direction!
Many years ago.....
Spring came that year, we shared that Spanish 101 class
for five weeks. While my heart was on my sleeve, hers was well concealed. I had
no idea how she felt about me, if anything at all.
A party celebrating Spring was made, and we attended. At
midnight, people began filing out, leaving just her, me, and another couple.
"Lets go for a bite" suggested my friend.."I feel like something in Chinatown".
We quickly agreed and were in his car heading for downtown N.Y.C.
We made it to the downtown area, the car radio playing the
loveable sing along oldies. We drove along the riverside, the imposing
skyscrapers, softly lit, were like giant ornaments for the night sky....the
water, softly reflecting the light of the moon.
We were seated in the back, I at one side, and her staring
out the car window on the other side.
The song by the Beatles, Do You Want To Know A
Secret? came on, over the radio
"You'll never know how much I really love you
you'll never know how much I really care.
Listen (do-wa-do) do you want to know a secret?
do you promise not to tell?
...........................................I sat on my side of
the car, a huge grin broke out on my face...."gee, if she only knew" my heart
spun its awakening call......
my lips went in sync with the song....
"Ive known a secret for a week or two,
nobody knows just we too, listen
(do-wa-do)
I turned to face her.....and behold..she was facing me with a
sweet smile and was singing...our eyes locked.....in unison
"do you want to know a secret
do you promise not to tell
I'm in love with you"......
.........it was followed with the softest yet most powerful
kiss that I had ever come to known in my short life.....
Now, many years later I cannot even recall what occured the
remainder of that evening.....I just know a part of my heart was left behind
beneath a moonlight night, and in the tune of a Beatle song that liberated
it!
Sweet liberations to the hearts that silently wait....your
turn will come! ....
