(written using a title prompt)
Glances fraught with meaning
Touches that linger a little too long
Smiles that are literally beaming
Hearts that pound like the beat of a song
Trying to hide all we're feeling
So that no one else can see
Knowing we can't risk revealing
Because neither of us is free
Wishing we had other choices
Dreaming of what might have been
Longing to raise our voices
To declare our love again and again
Instead we must keep our love hidden
There's no one else we can trust
We can't let the words escape unbidden
We must keep this secret between us.
