The Secret

Something beautiful blossomed between the two,
But it was kept secret from the few,
The one wanted the whole world to know,
The other was afraid to ever let it show,
Things still grew and started to root,
But it mattered not and then grew moot,
When it mattered the most the one was told,
The other wanted both the secret to hold,
But they held it too long and the blossom did wilt,
As they both watched the secret destroy what they built.
