Does your heart ache too?
Does your countenance in my absence brood?
Does your mind also take you into flashbacks?
Does your soul keep searching for something that lacks?
I know this love is forbidden,
and hence it must remain hidden
in the coveted glimpses and brief contact of the eyes,
ever so subtle the hint of lingering sadness in the goodbyes.
With the pain of your separation lies the fear of revelation,
and the play of fates has destined our story to eternal damnation,
and now only one prayer remains in my heart,
just keep smiling whether you are near or apart.
