Only Me

Dear love, to write these wards tonight

My heart is heavy, nothing feels right

Society keeps us apart

These walls between us break my heart

Your family's wealth, my simple life

Cut through my soul just like a knife

Why must our love face these chains?

My feelings strong through all this pain

Can't help but love you endlessly:

Though stars aligned against our destiny

Oh, why can't they see?

Each day I pass your mansion's gate

Knowing well I must hesitate

My dreams of us remain untold

Because my pockets hold no gold

But in my heart, you're worth much more

Than all the riches they adore

I'm angry at this cruel divide

These tears I'm forced to keep inside

But love like this won't fade away

No matter what they do or say

Though classes keep us far apart

You'll always have my faithful heart

My love runs deeper than their gold

A truth that must remain untold

Oh, why can't they see?

This letter holds my heart so true

Forever I'll be loving you
