In the quiet hours of the night,
My heart whispers your name,
Yet you remain an elusive light,
In a world of unrequited flame.

I see your smile from afar,
A beacon of joy I cannot touch,
My feelings bound by an invisible bar,
Longing for a love that means so much.

Your laughter dances in my dreams,
A melody that soothes my soul,
But reality is never as it seems,
Leaving an ache that takes its toll.

Though my love remains unseen,
And my heart quietly bleeds,
I cherish the moments we’ve been,
A silent love that never recedes.
