In moonlit whispers, hearts entwined,
Yet bound by vows we cannot break.
I love you deeply, pure and kind,
But peace for you, I won't forsake.

Your touch, a spark, a fleeting fire,
Though tethered to another's light.
I won't ignite forbidden desire,
Nor pull you from your chosen night.

Love persists in shadows' dance,
Where silent hearts must make their stand.
For your happiness, I'll forgo my chance,
And gently let go of your hand.
