In the quiet corners of a heart unseen,
Lies a love, unspoken, in shades between.
A silent yearning, a hidden tear,
A whispered longing, forever near.
Your smile, a beacon in my darkest night,
Yet in your eyes, I am but light.
A fleeting shadow, a passing glance,
In your world, I have no chance.
Each word you speak, a melody sweet,
Yet my heart breaks with every beat.
For in your presence, joy and pain,
Dance together in love's refrain.
I watch you from a distance, silently,
Hoping, dreaming, endlessly.
For moments shared, for stolen time,
Yet love remains a distant climb.
You speak of dreams, of love anew,
Of hearts entwined, but not with you.
My soul, it aches, with every breath,
A love unreturned, a living death.
Yet still, I cherish every smile,
Each fleeting moment, every mile.
For though my love, you cannot see,
In my heart, you will always be.
An echo in the chambers, deep and true,
A love unspoken, meant for you.
Though unrequited, still it stays,
In the shadows of my endless days.
