In the shadows of my heart, it dwells,
A love unreturned, a tale it tells.
Like a lone star in the vast night sky,
I yearn for you, though you pass me by.

In my dreams, you're always near,
But in reality, I hide my tear.
A one-sided love, a bittersweet pain,
I love you still, though it's all in vain.

You're the sunshine that warms my day,
Yet, you never hear the words I say.
My heart's a secret, locked away tight,
Longing for you, day and night.

I'll cherish the moments, the stolen glance,
Even if I never get a chance.
Unrequited love, a silent plea,
In my heart, you'll forever be.
