My Life's Pleasures

Compromise

To others I'll deny ever wanting you, needing you, everything.

I can't go one day without thinking about you.

Even if it's me you don't love.

I'll always love you the most.

To the world I'll die a traitor, a liar.

Even if I can't have you as mine.

Even if I can't be your friend.

I'll be there for you in the end.

If society would allow.

I would marry you now.

We could run away forever.

Start a new life and change our names.

We wouldn't have to play anymore games.

But Heaven forbid I be happy.

Maybe I'll die alone.

Or live a lie with another man.

Ruining my life for you.

I wouldn't care because it's you.

Here's a question...

Instead of making a life with you...

Who else is willing to ruin their life for you?
