I see your battles, the struggles you've faced,
The weight on your shoulders, yet filled with grace.
In your eyes, I hear whispers of despair,
Cries for help hidden, pleading, longing for care.

But only someone who loves you, my dear,
Would stand by your side to fight off the fear,
To hold your hand when darkness prevails,
To shield you from pain, as our love unveils.

For only someone who truly adores,
Can perceive the battles behind closed doors,
I notice your tears, concealed and soundless,
Yet your smile masks the pain, leaving me speechless.

But you don't see me, though my heart's aflame,
Love's fire fuels my soul, but I'm unnamed.
I long to be the one to dry your tears,
To conquer your demons and calm your fears.

I wish you'd see the love within my gaze,
That I'll always be here, throughout our days.
For I'm here to fight, shoulder to shoulder,
Together, we'll conquer, as our love grows bolder.

But until you notice, my love shall remain,
Hidden, yet steadfast, like a secret flame.
Patiently waiting for you to see,
That the one who loves you most, my dear, is me.
