Forbidden Love
When you kissed me gently on the cheek
I was enveloped in a wave of warmth
You left me feeling securely weak
As our arm drew me close to your side
And as that kiss lingered softly on my skin
I found myself overwhelmed, needing to hide
Though I yearned to turn to look deep within
Looking forlornly as I waved our goodbyes
I knew if I'd lost myself in your eyes
I couldn't resist a fiery embrace
But alas I had to face
Consequence-oh and disgrace
The bitter triangle of fate
Damn them lies
To choose what side of me dies
