I have a secret box locked up

And hid away.

Waiting for that special someone

Who has the key,

To open it one day.

Within this box I hide many images

And memories

From the past.

Memories that will forever last.

Memories

To get me through.

Memories of a special friend;

That’s you.

This box I keep within my heart.

This box keeps me

From falling apart.

When I need courage

And hope.

I peak into my box,

For it helps me to cope.

When my box is rained upon.

The pretty red ribbon around it,

Begins to fade.

I fear losing,

The memories we've made.

But once again

You’re there.

With an extra umbrella to spare.

You protect me from life’s storms.

With the friendship that we've formed.

You hold the only key.

To open this box

Within me.
