Whispering T'Hy'la
By Segalt of Vulcan

Being who I am
What I am
And where I am
There are something's I may not say

Some hopes I may not share
Some dreams I dare not dream
And yet I do

Knowing who you are
What you are
And as you are
There are some words you would not hear

For should I speak to you of feelings
You would hear only of failings
And with polite, silent rejection
Turn away from my quiet, desperate words

And what is to be gained
In naming the source of forbidden feelings
A response to loyalty, honesty, integrity
Feelings born of knowing you for who you are
Will knowing this lend logic to my words

Some gifts, it seems are better
Never given nor received
For what betrays emotion
Betrays also the cause of the emotion

And so the emotion must remain
Forever frozen and without expression

I could never forget, nor forswear
Your honor, your trust, your place
But if you listen carefully
You may on occasion find me
With you in mind, whispering T'Hy'la
