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
