Silent Whispers

A silent story, eyes that speak, Across the room, a silent creek. His gaze, a warmth, a gentle fire, Igniting hopes, fueling desire. She sees it clear, in stolen glance, A hidden love, a hopeful chance. But friendship's bond, a fragile thing, A whispered fear, a silent sting. Her friend's affection, a shadow's cast, Upon a heart, beating too fast. A secret kept, a silent plea, To love unseen, eternally. For in those eyes, a world resides, A love unspoken, deep inside. A silent wish, a hidden sigh, To love and cherish, by and by. But friendship's chains, they bind her tight, A sacrifice made, in pale moonlight. A secret love, a silent tear, For what could be, held ever dear.
