Clinging desperately
to what cannot be mine,
tasting your breath
as your heart beats in tune with mine.

It shouldn't be like this,
I shouldn't feel like this;
but, how can something so wrong
make me feel such bliss?

My heart leaps
as your nose brushes mine,
and I smile as we stand before
the mountain we've chosen to climb.

And when I say, "I love you,"
why do you doubt me so?
I may be ten years older than you,
but you'll have to trust my heart to know.

I'll steal your kisses in the shadows,
away from peering eyes,
and show you what our love could do
as our souls and bodies fly.

Yet I realize why you doubt me,
as I hold back my love.
I will never love to hate you,
yet it's you I hate to love.
