The Secret
The Secret
Would you like to hear a secret? One just for you ears alone?
It's not a very long secret. Or a gossipy secret.
It's a pretty good secret, actually.
In fact, as soon as I tell you I'm sure you will smile.
You always do.
But I'll have to whisper it Very quietly~
which means I will have to get very, very close to your ear.
I promise not to tickle your ear too much when I tell it,
yet it might tickle a little.
But tickles are fun, aren't they?
I will also need to put my hands up to your face and cup them around your ear because I don't want you to lose even one word of the secret
May I touch you to tell it?
Just a gentle, soft touch?
May I touch you?
Well then, if you'll let me touch you and whisper in your ear,
would you let me snuggle near you with my body while I tell you.
It's really, really fun to snuggle bodies a little when you tell a secret, don't you think?
Will you let me?
Remember, it's only for a few seconds.
Okay???
You know~ if you'll let me snuggle a little while I'm telling you~
I might lose my balance if I cup both of my hands around your ear.
Maybe I'll need to put one arm around your neck and pull you towards me
while I tell it.
Would That be okay?
Since it's such a tiny, short secret, I promise not to be there very long. Just a few seconds. My arm around your neck, my hand around your ear,
a little bit of touching, even with my whole body?
Is That okay?
If you will say yes to all the above,
then will you let me press my cheek up against your head?
That way the side of your ear that might be open,
would be covered from other people hearing
and I don't want Anyone else to hear.
Is that okay?
Is it okay if I breathe in the smell of your hair and face too,
while I'm there?
May I enjoy the softness of your skin and the warmth of your face?
Are you sure?
I wouldn't want to make you uncomfortable.
Okay then, ~ I think I'm ready to tell you my secret.
Are you ready?
Really???
Wait! Wait!
May I stay in this position a little longer?
It feels soooo gooood....
Just a little longer?....
Okay~ ......(sigh).......
.........now I'm ready to tell you my secret.......
Oops! I forgot it!
