On opposite sides of the fence
Two people, strangers no more
But the wire that stood between them
Was locked, like a rusted old door
Love etched upon the metal bolt
And a date they both knew by heart
One they would never get to
The fence kept them too far apart
Defiant, they pulled on the gate
Hoping, the lock, they could sever
For love can never be kept at bay
When you’re fighting for a forever
