In the quiet of the night, I whisper your name,
A melody of love, unreturned, yet still aflame.
Your laughter, a distant echo, haunts my dreams,
As I drown in the river of unspoken streams.

Each glance you cast, a dagger to my heart,
Your smile, a sunbeam, tearing me apart.
I tread the path of hope, a solitary lane,
Lost in the labyrinth of my unreciprocated pain.

The words I yearn to speak, forever confined,
In the prison of my love, eternally blind.
My soul reaches out, in the darkness it roams,
Seeking solace in the shadows, where it calls home.

Perhaps one day, the stars will align,
And the love I bear will no longer be mine.
But until that day, in silence I’ll stay,
Loving you from afar, in my own silent way.
