He'll hold you close in the shadows of night, where your love can blossom without any fright. He'll be your refuge, in a world so cruel.

Forbidden love, a story too often told. A tale of two hearts, with barriers untold; Arata, bound by the rules of his ancestors but his love for you, too strong to last. He longs to hold you, to show his affection to the public eye, but the rules set for his clan deny him that connection. Despite the odds, he refuses to stray for his heart knows,

You're worth the price to pay

Words of his ancestors' echo in his mind but his love for you, he cannot leave behind. He is willing to break the chains that bind his love for you.

But life is unfair. No matter what we do, we can never have our way, thus our love must stay secret. An affair that's hidden, from prying eyes but despite it his love for you will never die.

Until the afterlife he shall love you.

Some may say it is an insult, for he is not willing to show his love for you in public.

But you must understand that he only wants to protect you, for he knows the dangers that his love for you can bring.
