In the quiet moments we share,
Laughter and secrets, we dare,
To stay in the safe space we know,
While feelings beneath start to grow.

Your smile, a light in my day,
Words unspoken, I wish to convey,
Yet fear keeps my heart at bay,
In friendship’s shadow, I stay.

Each touch, a lingering trace,
In your eyes, a tender grace,
A silent wish to embrace,
But friendship’s boundaries, I face.

What if we crossed that line,
Would our hearts then intertwine?
Or would we lose what we find,
In the delicate dance of time?
