What It Takes To Love
You said our love’s forbidden
A story between us that’s never written
A love so great but constantly hidden
Soft like a kitten,
You’ll only purr for attention
A beautiful strong woman, did I fail to mention?
I’ll love you for today
I loved you twice yesterday
I’ll cry for you tomorrow
For your love will soon sail away
I refuse to say goodbye
So, I’ll cry for you each day
Midnight lovers, I’ll call us
For the moon was our bed
And the earth was our cover
The stars were the lights
That guided us to each other
A friendship we built
A love we discovered
Things we felt
We should’ve shared deeply
Now I know the cost of love
And the price it takes to lover her
