In his secret heart, he tried to feel love for the one who made him.

You keep her for the rest of your time, his secret heart told him.

Deep inside her most secret heart, she wanted it all.

In her secret heart, she felt tears were a private thing.

In your secret heart you don't believe that, but it's true.

In her secret heart, she also felt he wouldn't be talking this way if they hadn't once shared a relationship.

But all the while, deep inside, her secret heart kept beating.

Not the soft little you that lived in your secret heart.

But in her secret heart she was very puzzled indeed.

She considered changing it, but knew in her secret heart that this would not work.
