You say I don't know how to love

You say I don't know how to love, maybe it's true,
but my heart doesn't know how to lie.
And even if I don't manage to have your complete love,
I will love you in secret, until the end of my existence.
But you do not understand what I feel in my breast,
when your eyes meet mine.
That's where love comes undone,
a fire that burns, but with no verve.
I try to hide it, hide it from sight,
but my heart beats wildly.
I'm afraid to show what my soul conquers,
And that you will reject it, heartless one.
I don't judge you for denying my feelings,
everyone has their own wounds.
But let me dream and smile,
Even if it's only in my goodbyes.
