You were forbidden.

You found me after more than ten years, and you were so forbidden.

But I wanted you, I wanted you more than I did all those years ago back when it was possible.

Suddenly we wanted each other, the hidden gems that connected us finally exposed.

We banter about what could have been, what should have been.

The regrets we must live with now, the secrets we have to keep.

We fantasize about a life together, intimate and beautiful.

The fantasies become sexually charged with passion, longing, urge.

But these dreams lived too deep inside of our hearts.

And that's all they were, dreams.

Slowly we slipped back in to our realities, slowly we hid those gems again, one by one.

And so you stayed forbidden.

My secret, my forbidden secret.

I will hide you away again.
