We cried because this love can't ever be
We tried our best but it was all for naught
This shade is all her folks would ever see
Despite the fact that I was what she sought

So as it all began to fall apart
Three words came to my mind, and so I spoke
And as those words spilt out so did my heart
And so without her catch, It fell and broke

Her hug that blinds us from the tears that swell
No matter what this love was doomed to fail
We tried our best but simply could not quell
And so we left both feeling small and frail

It's sad that love's still destined by it's shade.
Alone, it's only wish had been forbade.
