It began one night with a tender kiss
that surprised both her and him.
The moon was full, the stars were out
the candlelight was dim.
They kissed once more, just like before
and what they feared, they both ignored.
You see, their love was not to be
because their friends would disagree
So lest their romance be discovered
they departed
secret lovers.

It was a secret, none could know
so for a week they stayed apart.
Yet they missed each other badly
Twas a weight upon their hearts.
So in the night they met once more.
New sorts of pleasures they did explore.
His touch was kind, they intertwined
and became one in body and in mind.
Then once their strength they had recovered
they departed
secret lovers.

Then trouble came for the two lovers,
their friends knew something was amiss.
None knew how, but it would seem
that somebody had seen them kiss.
He did not stall, he told them all,
and their friends this did appall.
They kept them away,
and to their dismay,
with their secret now uncovered
they departed
secret lovers.

Now they dream of one another,
dream of being again together.
Another day, another place,
they don't know where or when.
Blessed they were with love sublime.
They'll reunite another time,
and on that day they'll rediscover
what it was like to be
secret lovers.
