The Forbidden Lovers' Nocturnal Embrace

Info

There's a great saying

That you can find love

In the most unexpected places

And the strangest of faces

What truly prevails 

An emotion no one can repress


In the nocturne, I found

A light that shone

One I thought would deliver me in peril

An atonement to an aggravating deed

I committed against your kind

But your light touched me

And I heard you whisper,


"Please, don't run away."

Even if I have suffered long enough

From the torment your kin 

Has led creatures like me into, 

I come to you here in this darkness 

Because my wings have flown me to you.

You have given me light

I never thought I would find again.


This path we chose

We never thought we'd take

The regret and agony

Two things that used to keep us ablaze

Driving us away from what

We truly feel for each other

Despite our differences

And the choices we have to make.


This is a love I will treasure

In my world --

That I have to heal from all its pain

A world I have to bring to prosperity once again,


And this is a love I will cherish

In my world -- 

Where love is defined by the limits they set

And where I have to pretend in order to be loved.


This is a love that binds us

To an eternal promise

Of hoping that we can run back

To each other's arms once again

Who knows how long it's going to take

But we know we will someday,

Somewhere in the tranquility 

Of the night.
