Forbidden

The thought of losing you haunted me day by day, 

losing you before I said everything I wanted to say, 

I’m scared, 

what if your gone before I tell how much I love you, 

what if there’s no one to make my heart race how you do, 

you can’t get everything you want, I know that, 

but I wished you were an exception, for me to be pushed into your every direction, 

everywhere you go, it’s the places I learn to know, 

off by heart to find you when you leave, to tell you every lingering word I hid up my sleeve, 

I guess they were never hidden, I just couldn’t say the words out loud because I knew we were forbidden, 

I’ll remember your every step, there’s nothing you’ve said to me that I’ve learned to forget, 

though the stars may frown on this love that’s been hidden, I danced with you in every dark corner, even when I knew we were forbidden,
