Analysis of A Forbidden Love
Danyettia Crawford 1985 (United States)
A forbidden love it can never be
My heart yearns to love you in my fantasy
My thoughts are occupied of what and how it should be
Forgetting it is forbidden to love you I must set my heart free
Captivated in my lustful thoughts
Ceasing every moment to remember our talks
A feeling so powerful yet full of pain
We are forbidden to fall in love because our lives will change
A heart wants what it should not have
It is because of its deceitfulness I think you are mine to have
The joy of what I know we could be
This forbidden love is now haunting me
Words unspoken we will never know
This forbidden love is not meant to grow
Yet my mind ponders at the thought of you
Reminded that you can never have me, or I have you
Tension is eased in this forbidden fantasy
Forever a smile it is endlessly
If only of a moment it was not forbidden to see
What this is world would be like if it were you and me
But this love is forbidden and only a fantasy
