In the shadow of his brilliance I stand,
A flickering flame in a storm’s embrace,
Hoping my warmth could light his land,
Yet feeling like a distant star in space.

His laughter echoes like a song divine,
While my voice trembles in silent prayer,
Longing to be the note that intertwines,
But fearing my tune fades into thin air.

He dances through life with a grace untold,
As I stumble, trying to keep his pace,
Dreaming of a love that could be bold,
Yet doubting if I belong in his embrace.

In the mirror of his eyes, I see my flaw,
A reflection of dreams not yet realized,
Wishing to be the wonder he saw,
But knowing my heart is still unprized.
