Simple sentence question - comma splice?
I wrote out this simple sentence to a friend. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
After I sent it, I wondered if "don't worry" was a sentence on it's own. Would the sentence then be: "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me."
Would it be grammatically incorrect to just say "Don't worry your secret is safe with me," without any comma?
Thank you.

I suppose it does not sound all right even with a comma. In my estimation I will go for semicolon to separate the two sentences. Semicolon denotes a short pause.
