In whispers soft, secrets take flight,
From friend to crush, beneath the starry night.
A boy's heart drums, a hopeful beat,
As words of longing in shadows meet.

His friend, a messenger of the tender soul,
Conveys his feelings, with whispers whole.
But in her eyes, a riddle resides,
Acquiring her soul where truth hides.

Neither rejection nor acceptance dear,
Leaving him suspended in love's...
