Miles stretch between us,

Drifting us apart.

I am lost without you,

Unable to bear this isolation.

Standing in the rain,

Tears mixing with water,

An ache deep in my heart

My mind refuses to understand.

A tied destiny,

A forbidden love.

I thought heaven blessed our union,

Yet the world denies us,

Refusing its permission.

We are not free,

Nor are we at liberty.

Shackled by responsibility,

Yet we know we are not wrong.

With a passion this strong,

All we ask

Is that you respect our decision.
