Not For Us

Meet me tonight

In our spot

I can’t stop

Replaying our dance

In my head

Ghosts seemed to moan

As we danced

Oblivious to their warning 

That young love is 

Fleeting

Not for us

Not for us

The chill of the hall

Abandoned

Save for us

Maybe it’s forbidden

Maybe it’s too dangerous

As you say

But I would like to 

Meet you again

Please 

Please 

-Yours
