In the silence of my own mind, I carry a burden
A struggle and pain that no one else can see
No friends, no family, no one to confide in
About the heartbreak that tore me apart inside

My first love, a forbidden romance
A story that many would judge and decry
But if you walked in my shoes just for a moment
You would see why I was willing to lie

I lied about my age out of fear of losing him
I gave up my innocence in the name of love
I foolishly thought that if I just gave enough
I would receive love in return, but it was not to be

The authorities stepped in, tore us apart
And since then, I've been haunted by his absence
Nights spent crying, heart shattered into pieces
A love that was never meant to be, lost to time

I wrote letter after latter, pouring out my soul
Hoping somehow he would know how sorry I am
But the words remain unsent, lost in the void
A love that once burned bright, now just a memory

No one knows the pain I carry inside
The struggle of letting go, the ache of lost love
I face it alone, in the silence of my own min
A heartbreak that no one else will ever understand.
