should I happen upon some misguided
fortune of fame
a certain secret that was once held so very dear
will soon enough become known
and the attention showered upon me will point the
nasty finger to a woman child's fondest regards
for a once mere boy she couldn't have
who has now fully grown
how so very very bloody embarrassing
but I guess he and I will just have to learn
to live with such knowledge................
