Forbidden Love

Together we wanted to be. 
But something was blocking our love. 
Just one small thing. 
The love we had was forbidden.
Although neither of us could fight the feeling.
 Together we wanted to be. 
But something was blocking our love. 
Just one small thing.
 No one would we let come between. 
I wanted to be with you and you wanted to be with me.
 But the thing was: your only fifteen. 
Yeah i'm Seventeen but the love we have is forbidden. 
Together you and me will never be.
Forbidden love because of a number.
Forbidden love because of an age.
Forbidden love because of what people would think.
Together we want to be but the forbidden love over-rides all of our wants.
Forbidden love, But what about what we want?
