In the fading light,

They stood together

One last time

To say goodbye forever

His face of stone,

Hers a fake smile

But their eyes told the truth

Of what their masks hid all the while

In the fading light, they embraced gently

As if to say, we'll be together again

As if in defiance of the truth

That this was really the end

But in the fading light,

The masks fell

She looked up, he looked down

And in the fading light, the masks fell

"I love you."

"Don't say it!"

"I need you!"

"Don't think it!"

In the fading light,

A forbidden love finally revealed

A love that couldn't be smothered

A love that couldn't be killed

"I love you!"

"You musn't say it!"

"I need you!"

"You musn't think it!"

In the fading light, he saw her tears

Of what only her heart's pain could bring 

And in the fading light, he saw her tears, and finally understood. 

Understood Everything.
