Hidden Love



There was a time many years ago
Our love for each other we did not know.
When we first met we were barely friends.
But now my love for you has no ends.
--
I dream of making love to you each night.
And maybe one of these days I just might.
The problem is that we are both taken.
That means someone's heart we would be breaking.
--
Nothing can stop what we’re feeling inside.
But by our promises we should abide.
Although we may never be together.
We’ll be in love forever and ever.
--
Well, maybe we could meet up a few times.
Our true love is not committing a crime.
My passion for you is so very strong.
So how can our love be considered wrong?
--
If we’re discovered we will pay the price.
But our time together will be so nice.
We’ll be careful not to let others know.
Our love for each other we cannot show.
