I should've seized the moment, seized the chance,
And let our lips meet in a tender dance.
But in fear and doubt, I turned my head,
And now I'm plagued by thoughts of what I've said.

We were just friends, or so we claimed,
Yet stolen glances and unspoken flames,
Revealed a love that we both tried to hide,
Beneath the surface, where secrets reside.

But when did I start to fall so deep,
Into a love I couldn't help but keep?
It sneaked upon me, tender and fast,
And now I'm left yearning for a love that'll last.

Oh, how I wished for it to be you,
To be the one my heart beats for, true.
With every breath, I longed for your touch,
Yearned for a love that would mean so much.

It's always been you, deep in my core,
This love I cannot deny anymore.
And no matter what the future may bring,
In my heart, your presence will forever sing.

Each night as I drift into slumber's hold,
In my dreams, your love I gently unfold.
But as the dawn breaks and reality cries,
I'm left alone, with cold sheets and empty lies.

Yet still, I'll hold onto this love's embrace,
Moving forward with hope, and not a trace,
Of regret or doubt, for I'll always know,
In my heart, with you, where love will grow.
