In secret, I adore from afar, A love so strong, yet hidden scar, Unspoken words, a heart that sighs, Longing to be, where love resides. Your smile, a sunbeam in my day, Warming my heart, in every way, But alas, it's not meant to be, A love unrequited, a heart that's free. I watch you laugh, I see you smile, And in those moments, my heart goes wild, But I remain, a silent guest, Afraid to speak, and risk our nest. In dreams, I see a different tale, A love that's returned, a heart that sails, But when I wake, reality's cold, A love unrequited, a story never told.
