Forbidden Desire

shell_b219

My hearts on fire,
With one desire,
The one I see,
That cannot be.

You pass by,
My heart could fly.
My face is red,
With just a name said.

How can I feel,
Something so real?
I belong to another...
But the flames I can't smother.

Words I can't speak...
For you make me weak.
What should I do?
I want to be with you.
