Ask me no secrets

Ask me no secrets;
I’ll tell you no lies.
Ask me my history . . .
I’ll tell you a story

You’ll say “Is it long?”
I’ll say, “Well…a little…”
You’ll say, “Ohhhh…”
Then…silence ensues

I ask you a question --
You reply very quickly . . .
You ask me a question --
I reply very quickly . . .

And then we go on
Right along with our days;
And then I realize that
You never asked my name.
