the farewell

Our love is forbidden 

no one will understand 

we have met in the moonlight

joined hand in hand 

in the garden of our youth

i have found you at last

but you belong to another 

oh let these emotions pass

for how can i forsake my honor

and run away with you

how can i betray her trust

and hide amongst the shadows?

our souls have met

and found one another

our eyes have long glances held

surely we were made to be

but why then the difficulty 

must we say goodbye

we've talked through everything

the problems of the world we've unlocked

together we've found the answers 

then why do we have to part

on the swing set like children 

did we play and in the early morning 

we swam in the lake 

long walks in the country we took

and in the attic read the old books

but this must end forever

we must to our duties be true

goodbye oh lover of my soul

goodbye forever 

 adieu
