In whispered moments, laughter shared,
Our bond grew deeper, hearts laid bare.
Yet hidden ‘neath our friendly guise,
A secret longing, love’s sweet lies.
Each touch, each glance, a silent plea,
For what we are, and what could be.
Bound by friendship’s gentle chain,
But dreaming of a love unchained.
In twilight’s soft, embracing hue,
I find my thoughts return to you.
A friend so dear, yet something more,
A love that knocks upon the door.
Oh, if courage finds its way,
To bridge the gap of night and day.
We’ll find in us, not friends alone,
But love, in hearts now fully grown.
