TABOO

Ever since the day I embraced my feelings for you

I listen to the stillness of my heart in the dark under the moon

Couldn't find a cure for a heart in dissolute

I couldn't stay away even if I had tried to

I waited in the rain for sunshine to lite up my fear

Of losing someone so precious and very rare

I will leave my emotions buried in a tombstone

In a world I can't find you, it’s no use wandering alone

I was told the worlds beautiful, but I wish it's not true

It's a taboo where I am from not to fall in love with someone special as you

The gods would be grieved, for they gave me their blessing

At birth and the moment I met you a fortnight

I wish I don't experience the feeling of losing you inside

Do you realize you mean more than the world and everything to me?

It's only you if someday I fall can catch me

Not the wish I asked for, but having you is so much more

A taboo will it be, if you are not part of my life
