In the quiet corners of my heart,
Where shadows softly play,
I whisper words you’ll never hear,
And dream of brighter days.

Your laughter is a distant song,
A melody I can’t embrace,
Yet every note that dances near
Brings longing to my place.

I watch as you chase other stars,
While I remain unseen,
A silent witness to your joy,
A heart that stays evergreen.

Though you may never know my truth,
Or see the tears I hide,
I’ll cherish every fleeting glance,
In this one-sided tide.
