Veiled Affection

[Verse 1] [Deep Male Voice] In a crowded room, I catch your eye, But I must conceal this love inside. Every word you say, every smile you share, Makes me wish I could reveal how much I care. [Chorus] But I'll keep my feelings hidden, In the shadows, they'll reside. For if I let them show, It could tear us both apart inside. [Verse 2] Through the flashing lights, your beauty shines, Yet I can't confess these feelings of mine. Every time you reach out, my heart takes flight, But I must pretend that everything's alright. [Chorus] So I'll keep my feelings hidden, In the silence, they'll remain. For if I let them out, We might never be the same again. [Bridge] I dream of a day when we can be free, To share our love for all to see. But until that moment, I'll hold it in, And cherish every glance, every grin. [Verse 3] As the music fades, and the crowd disperses, I'm left alone with these forbidden verses. I long to hold you close, to whisper in your ear, But I can't risk the truth coming too near. [Chorus] So I'll keep my feelings hidden, In the depths of my soul. For if I let them slip, We could lose it all, lose control. [Break] [Outro] Until the day comes when we can be, Together, openly, you and me. I'll keep my love a secret, deep and true, Hoping that one day, you'll feel it too. [End]
