lovers cross

Created by musician Jim Croce
a lovers cross would be defined as a boyfriend or a girlfriend hanging themselves on an emotional/mental Crucifix for their significant other. Dealing with the pain they're put through for the greater good, thus making themselves a martyr.

"Yes, I really got to hand it to you
'Cause girl you really tried
But for every time that we spent laughin'
There were two times that I cried
And you were tryin' to make me your martyr
And that's the one thing I just couldn't do
'Cause baby, I can't hang upon no lover's cross for you"
Jake: why did you and Mary break up?
Jack: She had me on a lovers cross, and it got unbearable.

Star-Crossed Lovers

Two individuals with love for the other so strong it is impossible to define using words alone. Actions and touch relay more to their partner than any word. They are miserable when they are not together. They are as close to a perfect mate as is possible. Unfortunately, circumstances prohibit their expressions of love freely and they must hide their true feelings until they are alone. This alone time is often entirely too brief and often interfered with by outside forces such as weather or random events suddenly coming up. However once they are together the feelings are so intense that they feel they could never part again.

In another life those star-crossed lovers could be together, but for now they must keep it hidden.
