In the quiet of my heart, a secret stays,
A love that blooms in silent ways.
I watch you smile, I hear you laugh,
But you don’t see me, I’m just your path.

Your eyes shine bright like stars at night,
I dream of us, but it feels so slight.
I write you letters, but never send,
In my little world, you’re my closest friend.

Each glance you give, a spark ignites,
But I’m just a shadow in your bright lights.
I cheer you on from far away,
Wishing for words I can never say.

The moments we share, they mean so much,
Yet I hold my feelings, afraid to touch.
I hope one day you’ll see me too,
But for now, my love, it’s just for you.

In this one-sided love, I find my peace,
Though it may hurt, my heart won’t cease.
For loving you is a beautiful pain,
In this quiet storm, I’ll love you again.
