Forevermore

It’s driving me insane
This waiting
This hiding
You have no idea
How much I want to shed this veil
Of secrecy
Nobody is aware
Of the time I spend in your arms
Of the hours we spend
Whispering sweet nothings
To each other
And I know you want
To keep it that way
Not because you don’t want others
To know the way
We feel about each other
But because
We are Romeo and Juliet
Our love banned
Not by our families
But by the world
It is not socially accepted
For you to love me
Or I you
And you say
You want to protect me
To keep me in social graces
However if we are like
The star-crossed lovers
How long can we expect
To remain this way
Without disaster striking?
Oh my Romeo
Hold me tight
Don’t let me go
Stay by my side
No matter what happens
And I will be your Juliet
Forevermore
