In the heart of hearts, a truth doth lie,
Cloaked in shadows, beneath the azure sky.
I am a girl of but sixteen,
Embracing love that remains unseen.
A torrent of emotion, a hidden brook,
In the refuge of my heart, a secret took.
An enchanting dance with a maiden fair,
Our love, a hymn whispering in the air.
A world within mirrors, glistening bright,
Reflections dance in the pale moonlight.
Her laughter, her smile, her tender grace,
A solace I find in her sweet embrace.
Her touch a spark, her words a song,
In her arms, I fearlessly belong.
A clandestine ballad, a melody composed,
A testament to the love I chose.
Fear masks our truth in shadows vast,
In the grand theater, we\'re miscast.
To the world, our love remains unseen,
An unwritten sonnet of what could\'ve been.
A longing silent, a truth unsaid,
Yet, our love is no less widespread.
A love that\'s true, a love that\'s free,
A love that merely wishes to be.
The dawn will come, the truth will rise,
In its splendid hues, love never lies.
Till then, in verses, our story unfurls,
A dance of secret love between two girls.
