Secret Love

You are everything.
Everything I've ever hoped for
Everything I've ever dreamed of.
Now that I found you,
I'm so afraid to lose you.

We are imperfect
But so perfect for each other.
You told me I'm your reason
For waking up in the morning,
For being happy.
And you are my reason
For feeling alive.
Why would we want to lose this?

Our love has to be secret.
Work can't know that we're together.
But now they know.
They want you to leave me.
And I'm reminded of a story.
Forbidden lovers,
Secrets,
Lies,
Betrayal,
But a secret song holds them together.
Come what may.

If you meant what you said
About this being the best thing in your life,
Why would you want to throw that away?
Wouldn't you fight for it,
After it took so long to find it?
Apparently you never meant it...
I wish you did.
Maybe then I wouldn't be sitting here
Alone and wondering why.
