Can't they understand

Why can't they understand that I am in love with him
They won't believe because " I don't know what love is"
If they really think things are going to happen
Obviously they don't know their own daughter
The things we do is to show compassion
Like no other
Latley all we have is each other
An epic twist on Romeo and Juliet
As we are serfs tied to the land
Hoping for a chance to escape into the arms of one another
It seems as if age is just a number
When it comes to love nothing matters
I've never felt so loved by anyone in my entire life
And with a love that burns so strong
An ever lasting light that fills our souls
We will stay together for as long as the moon circles each day
We will not give up hope
As it is our only sanctuary
