In laughter shared and silent dreams,
We wander paths where sunlight gleams.
Your smile, a beacon in my night,
Yet shadows linger, out of sight.

Each word exchanged a fragile thread,
We weave a tapestry of things unsaid.
Beneath the surface, longing stirs,
In gentle whispers, our hearts confer.

We walk a line both thin and wide,
Between the known and what we hide.
A step beyond, a world unknown,
Where friendship ends and love has grown.

Yet fear and hope dance hand in hand,
In this quiet, uncharted land.
Still, in your eyes, I see a spark,
A wish for more, a journey to embark.
