Hand in hand, yet worlds apart,
Love beats loud within our heart.
Yet on these streets, we walk unseen,
A love unspoken, caught between.
The cafes glow with hearts so red,
For those whose love is freely said.
But when we reach to touch, to show,
A glance, a sneer, reminds us “no”.
Their fingers lace without a care,
Their kisses steal the open air.
But ours must hide behind closed doors,
Love whispered through the muffled floors.
Why must our hearts be caged this way,
Why can’t we love in light of day.
Is love not love, as true, as deep,
A promise real, a bond to keep.
Yet still we love, despite the stares,
Despite the hush, despite the glares.
For love will rise, unchained, unbowed,
One day we’ll kiss among the crowd.
And when that dawn of change appears,
No love will hide, no love will fear.
Till then, my love, through dark we stay,
Yet hearts still shine on Valentine’s Day.
