Amour

I have always been a skeptic

On things concerning love

The very idea of love at first sight

Was something I'd grown sick of

 

How could anyone fall in love

With someone they didn't know

Surely such a thing could not exist

In anything other than a show

 

But 'love' simply isn't the right word

For the feeling that takes place

It's like the world slows down around you

And your heart picks up the pace

 

You see, I knew that you were special

From the moment I looked into your eyes

I felt something for you in an instant

But I had yet to realize

 

Fascinated by your splendor

And the way you were full of light

Some part of me needed to know you

And just introduce myself outright

 

I grew close to you so quickly

And looking back I should have known

All I wanted was for you to be happy

Because my feelings for you had grown

 

So even if you're with someone else

And you travel far away

I will continue to be there for you

And by your side I will always stay

 

So I'm forced to hide my feelings

From absolutely everyone

Not a soul will ever know

That you're my forbidden one
