*---*

Have you ever feared
a feeling so wonderful
something passionate
something strong

Something forbidden
something unimaginable
have you ever feared
an everlasting love?

Two souls may be
torn to shreds
two hearts
with one eternal beat.

Why must it be society
that tears two souls apart
two hearts wanting and needing
only to become one.

They are torn
by hate
by ignorance
even by race.

Why must the world be so selfish
to kill something so pure
to kill a bond so strong
that could change the world.

With stories of lovers
Romeo and Juliet
Laila and Majnu
lives end in tragedy.

Why keep two souls apart
when they should be together
why let them breathe alone
when they should breathe as one?

In this new world
in this new era
has society learned?
can they understand?

And for those two lovers
two risk takers
two daredevils
all I wonder is...

How Shall Their Story End?
