In the shadows of the night we lay,
Bound by duty, yet miles apart, I say,
I stay with you though I don't love you,
For it's the promise I made, forever true.
Through the trials and the storms we weather,
I stand by your side, strong as a tether,
Though my heart may wander, seeking a new,
I stay with you, for that's what I must do.
In the silence of our shared bed,
I long for a love I've never said,
But in the light of day, I wear a mask,
Pretending our love is a grand, eternal task.
So hold me close, my dear, my friend,
For in my loyalty, I will not bend,
I stay with you, though I don't love you,
A noble sacrifice, a duty I must pursue.
