Don't tell him

Don't tell him

Don't tell him that I said:

He's right - I'm always wrong.

Don't tell him I was listening

Or learning, waiting for unknowns.

Don't tell him that I care

What he thinks and how he says.

Don't let him know I trust him

'Cause I can tell him all of me.

Keep secret he's a beautiful friend

Loyal and strong to the core.

Don't tell him he's my confidant

His advice lands far too much.

Don't tell that he's interesting

Do not laugh at all his jokes.

Don't let him keep interrupting you

With: "listen...No, no listen".

Don't tell him who he really is

He's not supposed to know.

But shout to those without the knows:

His absence is their loss.
