Amor Secreto

Every Sunday she goes to Church
In the first pew she sits
When the priest says the mass
A light shines from her eyes
No one imagines that for a long time
Unintentionally she loves him in silence
No one imagines she is suffering
Seeing her secret love as impossible
She lives in love, she's dying for him
And he knows nothing
She wishes she could shout out
All she feels, but she doesn't dare
She asks her God
To erase him from her thoughts
Or to give her his love
Whenever people leave mass
She stays praying, not in a hurry
Full of tenderness and prudence
She looks without him noticing
Then she goes to the confessional
Even though her soul is free of sin
Because she's happy, even if just for a while
Being close to her beloved
She lives in love, she's dying for him
And he knows nothing
She wishes she could shout out
All she feels, but she doesn't dare
She asks her God
To erase him from her thoughts
Or to give her his love.
