I am fearful of the thoughts that haunt me
The fantasies that fought to be played out
I wonder if things were slightly altered
If I could admit these feelings to you
There is a law or two I’d like to circumvent
Or ignore and pray to not get caught
There is a restriction on the love I can show
Social norms that make it impossible to be open
The fact I can’t resist you, frustrates me even more
Catching me between the wants and can’t haves
Either way I choose, I lose
So I suffer in silence
I know it is wrong to deny my heart
There is nothing I want more than to be with you
If only I was less fearful of social judgments
Or you were of an age to accept my love
