*******************************************************************
My heart’s secret, couldn’t be hidden from them
The fire of love burned so fiercely
Not even a single flame could be extinguished
My heart’s secret, couldn’t be hidden from them.
Initially, they didn’t understand me.
They made my heart ache, they made me yearn.
Our eyes met many times
Yet, our hearts didn’t connect.
The fire of love burned so fiercely.
Not even a single flame could be extinguished.
My heart’s secret, couldn’t be hidden from them.
As our eyes met, they lowered, and words got stuck in my throat.
Indifference turned into love, victory turned into defeat.
Love’s gaze did its work
I couldn’t protect myself from them.
The fire of love burned so fiercely.
Not even a single flame could be extinguished.
My heart’s secret, couldn’t be hidden from them.
