They were a secret.
They came together alone at night, the fire and the mind.
They were perfection.
\/
we are forbidden love,
sweet and fleeting as a dove
/\
He was a son of Hephaestus.
A joking, witty, boy.
She was the daughter of Athena.
A bookwormy, serious girl.
Yet somehow, they were perfect.
Perfect for each other.
\/
you are the fireball that ignited my heart,
you have been the only one from the very early start
/\
She was the mind, he was the fire, and they were in between on those lonely nights under the sky full of fireworks.
They had a love stronger than anything else.
But it was a secret love, a love that had to be hidden away, secreted from the gaze of anyone but themselves.
It was a forbidden love.
She already had another, and he already had another.
But they only wanted each other.
\/
I only want you,
nothing else will make do
/\
They were perfection.
A golden moment in time, a perfect light.
But nothing can last forever.
They were falling apart, minute by minute, day by day.
The fall could not be stopped.
Their golden years were gone.
They had faded away, and the passion was gone, leaving only the ashes.
The ashes that were everywhere.
\/
I think we're disintegrating,
please tell me that I'm mistaken
/\
Alone at night, they used to kiss.
They went from love to emptiness,
From laughter to anger.
\/
we are not who we once were
we are not perfection, not anymore.
/\
we burned so brightly
but we died so quickly,
and now I'm standing in the ashes of who we used to be.
