But Don't You

I wrote exactly how I felt and this was the result.

Too fast, too soon. Your telling me so much.
Your honesty is admirable.
But don't you realize I don't need to know your every secret?
But don't you realize you are all that I need?
I trust you. I do. But does that mean I have to tell you everything?
There are things, no one knows. Not even me.
Things that you are not required to know.
Though you ask and ask, you want to know.
You push me away in doing so.
But don't you realize you don't need to know my every secret?
But don't you realize how that would change the way that you see me?
There are things so dark, so horrible. Things I wish I didn't see, things I wish I didn't do.
Why would you insist on knowing such things? Don't you realize what that does to me?
I told you that I trust you, and that I love you.
But that doesn't mean you need to know the things I've seen.
But that doesn't mean I will ever tell you the things I've seen, the things I've done.
Been together for such a trivial amount of time, yet I've given you my heart.
And you already know so much about me, too much.
I've let you in too far, but you will never get into my mind, never inside.
I don't think you realize what that would do to me. What you could do to me.
I've let you into my heart, but never my mind, never inside.
Isn't that enough?
To know I love you, that I trust you enough to let you get so close.
And that I always will?
What more do you want from me?
As you pry, you push my feelings aside, you push me aside.
You push me away.
If you push too hard, I will cut all ties, and loose the part of me which is you.
What goes on in my mind, is mine and only mine.
So much I burden and bear, how it wears and tears.
So much you will never know. So much you keep telling me.
So much I don't want to know.
But don't you realize we don't need to know all of each others secrets?
But don't you know we are all that we need?
I've allowed you into my heart, and that's where it stops.
Because you mean so much to me.

the ones that need to know, are the ones who have more to hide. just my own experience.
