I believe this song was about the secret relationship between Whitney & Robyn Crawford that went on behind the scenes it also caused a lot of speculation in the media. Over the decades that they we together they couldn't be their authentic selves as Robyn was threatened both legally and physically by Houston's own family who wanted Whitney to do the heteronormative thing ie: Get married and have children.
