In the shadows where my heart resides,
A whispered love that never fades,
Lingering in the corners of my mind,
A silent promise that never breaks.
I see your eyes, bright as the dawn,
But they never meet mine with the same spark,
A universe of dreams between us drawn,
Yet I am left alone in the dark.
Your laughter dances in the air,
A melody I long to claim,
Yet I stand on the periphery, aware,
That love for you is just a name.
I write my hopes in the stars above,
Hoping one day you’ll see,
This one sided love, a hidden trove,
A secret wish for you and me.
