In the depths of my heart, a flame does burn,
A love that's unrequited, yet it yearns.
For in this tale of my one-sided affection,
I'm lost in the realm of unfulfilled connection.

Like a lone star shining on a moonless night,
I bask in the glow of your distant light.
But my love remains a secret, silently concealed,
For fear of rejection and wounds yet unhealed.

I watch you from afar, admiring your grace,
Your mere presence brings a smile to my face.
Yet you're unaware of the feelings I hold,
For I hide them well, my emotions untold.

Each day, I paint a picture perfect and neat,
A mask of happiness, my heart's true defeat.
I laugh and I play, dancing through the charade,
While inside, my unshared love begins to cascade.

I know that my heart's desire may never be,
But still, I dream of a love shared just with me.
For even amidst the torment of this one-sided affair,
My heart whispers hope, its silent prayer.

For sometimes, love knows not the bounds of reality,
It transcends reason and defies normality.
So, I'll continue to cherish this love unrequited,
In the corners of my heart, tenderly knitted.

One day, my love, you may come to understand,
The depths of my affection, the touch of my hand.
But until then, I'll linger in shadows, unseen,
A silhouette of a love that could have been.

In this story of my one-sided devotion,
I find solace in the beauty of my emotion.
For a love unshared can still bring joy untamed,
And in this bittersweetness, my heart remains.
