Forbidden Love
Our love runs deep, though no one knows,
yet we cannot be together
because of society’s woes.
So cruel—our families clashing
like knights in a duel.
Still our love runs freely,
like a river that flows.
Like birds in the sky,
like snow and rain,
our love is forbidden—
do you feel my pain?
At night I cry,
howling at the moon.
Though time delays our meeting,
I will see you soon.
Why can’t we be together?
I don’t know why.
But we must persuade the world,
we must give it a try.
They need to see
our love is pure and true—
that your heart belongs to me
as mine belongs to you.
