"to love and not feel that love reflected is to know the steps but never dance."

a forbidden love
never given a chance,
is like a song
to which it's forbidden to dance.
the sound so beautiful,
the rhythm so true,
but this song of love
i'll never dance with you.

no matter our yearn,
no matter our hope,
no matter how i try,
you'll never let go.
never open to possibility,
never willing to risk,
never opening your eyes
to see that this is it.

the love of a lifetime,
a love so deep,
loyalty, devotion, and promise
would all be achieved.
eternal happiness, and passion,
faithfulness and forever bliss,
i could give you it all,
if only you'd see what i am asking.

you've confessed the feeling,
you've admitted there's a chance.
let go of the past,
and to this song our love will dance.
open your eyes and see all we could be,
take my hand and never let it go,
hold on to it forever
and let love's rhythm flow.

like a song to which we'll never dance,
our love is a dream that will never have a chance.

***i think at some point we all feel a love so strong that it could melt the coldest of hearts, bring tears to the eyes of all, bring envy to all who see...but what happens when its never given the chance to be? i have tried many times and have failed with each. yet my heart is too stubborn to quit; i am not yet ready to give in. hopefully all those like me share the same desire to try, because without love we merely die.

***if you are reading this then you know it's for you. you know who you are...i just hope you will give the chance too.***
