Silent Echoes

In the depths of my tender heart,

A love blossomed, a secret art.

But words escaped my trembling lips,

As fear consumed my fingertips.

In stolen glances, our eyes would meet,

A dance of longing, bittersweet.

Yet silence ruled our hidden game,

And love remained without a name.

The sun would set, the moon would rise,

And I'd gaze up at starlit skies.

Whispering my love to the night,

Hoping it would reach your sight.

But fate, unkind, played its cruel part,

Separating our entwined hearts.

And though our paths diverged, unknown,

Love's ember within me has grown.

So here I stand, with words unspoken,

A love that lingers, unbroken.

In the depths of my soul, you reside,

Silent echoes of a love denied.
