WITHOUT MY CONSENT

I was told to walk away 
And don't look back 
But my heart was tied to yours

And even though 
I follow the voice of my mother 
Your beauty I could not get over

You entered my world 
And the sun began to shine 
It was short lived 
But you brought stability 
To my unstable mind

The years has passed 
And my love for you 
Remains the same 
Never did a day passed by
Without me calling your name 

I was told that you live in the North 
And I am in Rome
We are both married to another 
With families of our own 

But as much as I love her
And call her my wife
Deep within my heart 
I call you my life.
