Whispers of a Silent Love
'''The Weight of Regret'''
I was wrong to push you away,
To let our love fade to gray.
Desperate for another's love,
I cut our connection, like a glove.
But deep inside, I knew the truth,
That waiting for you was worth the risk, uncouth.
Our gender may be the same,
But love knows no bounds, no shame.
''' Words Left Unsaid'''
So many words left unsaid,
So many thoughts left in my head.
I reach out, but you don't respond,
The thought of losing you, beyond.
Lately, I see you every day,
A reminder of love, gone astray.
But still, I hold on to hope,
That one day, we'll find a way to cope.
'''Love Unrequited'''
I still love you, that much is true,
Even though you found someone new.
A long-distance love, so far away,
I hope the sadness inside you, will one day fade.
I don't want to lose this chance,
To have closure, to start anew, to dance.
But I know, it's not just up to me,
To heal the wounds, to set us free.
'''Struggling in Silence'''
Nobody knows what you've been through,
The struggles you face, the pain you knew.
But I see it in your eyes, in your smile,
The hurt that lingers, for a while.
I wish I could take it all away,
To make you happy, to make you stay.
But all I can do is be a friend,
To support you, until the end.
'''Hope for Tomorrow'''
The future is uncertain, that much is clear,
But I hold on to hope, without fear.
That one day, we'll find our way,
To love again, to seize the day.
Until then, I'll cherish what we have,
A friendship strong, a love that lasts.
And though it may not be what I desire,
I'll keep the flame of love, burning like fire.
