In the quiet shadows of my heart,
Lies a love that cannot be spoken,
For you are near, yet so far,
And my heart remains forever broken.

I watch you from across the room,
Your smile, a light that I can’t touch,
My world is filled with silent gloom,
For I love you, oh, so much.

Unseen tears and whispered sighs,
Are all I have to show,
For the love that hides behind my eyes,
A love you’ll never know.

So here I stand, in quiet pain,
Yearning for a love that’s true,
But knowing well, this heart’s refrain,
Will always beat for you.
