Forbidden

I see you watch me from the street,
hoping someday that we shall meet.
You are shy and try to hide,
all the pain and fears you feel inside.
You keep yourself away from me,
wishing for things you know can never be.
What would you say, if you knew,
the way I feel for you?
Have you felt my eyes upon your face,
as you try to stare into space?
But, no, our secret we must hide,
or live our lives filled with lies.
Our love can never be,
bound by rings are we.
