I loved you from afar, in quiet, tender ways,
Through fleeting glances and imagined days.
Your smile lit skies I’d never touch,
A world apart—yet I loved you too much.
I built a castle made of dreams,
Each brick laid with silent screams.
You walked by, never seeing me there,
Yet my heart would ache with every stare.
You never knew my favorite song,
Or how your voice could feel so strong.
I whispered prayers you'd never hear,
Held onto hope, year after year.
But time, the gentle thief of pain,
Taught me loss can still bring gain.
The weight of longing left my chest,
And finally, I laid my love to rest.
No hate, no anger, just release—
A quiet end, a kind of peace.
Now I smile with lighter grace,
No longer chasing your nameless face.
I loved someone who never saw me there,
And now I’m free—no longer care.
It hurts, but I’ve begun anew,
For I deserve a love that sees me too.
