In Secret

It is a sad time
through silent tears 
my heart broken
from this day we part 
my cheeks pale 
your kiss is cold 
sorrow just begins 

the morning dew clings to my brow 
my heart shattered 
all our vows distorted 
oh this feeling of emptiness 
as I call out your name 

I shudder as I hear 
your name called by another 
although I've known you longer 
our trist remains hidden 
a secret among friends 
all alone I grieve for you 
my heart holding onto memories 

when years pass by 
if we shall ever meet again 
what do I say? 
How should I greet you that day? 
but with my silent tears
