In the quiet shadows of my dreams, you linger,
A silent melody, a song unsung,
Your smile, a beacon in my darkest night,
Yet your eyes, they never look my way.

I weave my heart in words unspoken,
Each glance a prayer, each breath a plea,
But you, my love, you walk a different path,
Blind to the love that blooms for thee.

The stars above, they know my secret sorrow,
They shine not for me, but for your gaze,
And in their light, I see my lonely fate,
Forever near, yet always far away.

So here I stand, a lover in the shadows,
With hopes that burn and dreams that fade,
For in this tale of one-sided love,
My heart beats on, though love remains unswayed.
