A love meant to last

Come now and listen
To a tale of such love
Two partners forbidden
That yet rose above

The two lovers met
On that one fateful night
All odds were against them
Yet they put up a fight

In a rage the young man
Stormed all over town
He cried at the news
And fell to the ground

"No" They'd been told
For their years difference was great
So together they planned
And laid out the bait

The plan was so clear
Almost written in stone
They'd get to be together
They'd finally be alone

So they lied to their parents
And disobeyed the rules
They were meant to face hardships
And lose many duels

Yet somehow they've made it
Conquered all that has passed
This truly was a love
That was meant to last
