My Secret Gate

I read a story once and it was about a secret gate that only a few people knew about inside someone, so i let people into one of my secret gates.

I wonder through this garden, a place I've been before.
This is my secret gate to my garden where I only have the key to the door.
You're here, just as you should be with your eyes all a glow
And right now that's all I want and for if I'll see you again... I shall never know.

I spin and twirl so carefree and so light,
That we dance so gracefully that we carry on into the night.
Lights dance upon the silvery lake that holds a certain magical hue,
For soon I know I am to wake even though I wish not to.

Is this evil of me to keep you all for myself,
As though you were a prized possession or a book upon my shelf?
A light breeze blows tangled with a gentle breeze in the air,
Turning around with a whirl I look to find that you're not there.

Alone again, as I've always been before,
But now I want it, I want to sleep and dream forever more.
A tug at my heart lets me know that you're still there,
Gentle kisses, touches, and gentle whispers against my soft hair.

I go on wishing that every day will not pass me by,
That this beauty that I find and dream of cannot be a lie.
Sighing a content sigh, I stop and take it in,
And lock the door to my secret garden I was in.

And in all my days and nights of wandering aimlessly,
I often stop to wonder if this is all that is to become of me.
