Secret Heart

If time could only go back
I would have never crossed your path
It would have made my life simpler
To be ignorant of your existence

Yet you became a part of my world
A world that no one has to know
A secret that lies in my heart
A love that will remain in the shadows

Your presence is a happiness
A complication to my troubled heart
In your absence and silence, I suffer
My mind in a chaos of thoughts

Emotions collide against each other
Like a tug-of-war with my inner self
My mind dictates to let you go
My stubborn heart still wants you

I am lost and helpless in my feelings
Feelings that have no right to thrive
Can I survive our own little world?
A world that has no rightful place

In time we must set each other free
A secret world couldn't hide forever
I'll just visit you in my memories
For a future with you is a foolish dream...
