The silent Affection

From a distance, I watch him move, a grace that draws my eye, A quiet yearning in my heart, a love that makes me sigh. He doesn't see the way I feel, the depth of my desire, Yet still I hold a secret flame, a quiet, burning fire. I see him laugh, I see him smile, and in those moments, know That loving him from far away is all I'll ever show. For fear and doubt hold me at bay, and words remain unspoken, A love that's hidden in the night, a heart that's gently broken. I long to be the one he holds, the one who shares his dreams, To be the whisper in his ear, the light within his beams. But I am just a shadow here, a distant, unseen star, Content to orbit 'round his world, and love him from afar. Each fleeting glance, each tender thought, is all I'll ever claim, A silent wish, a hopeful prayer, a heart without a name. For though my love may go unseen, it lives within my soul, A cherished, precious secret that makes my spirit whole. So here I stand, an unseen friend, my love a quiet song, Admiring him from distant shores, where silent hearts belong. And though he may not know my heart, or see the tears I cry, I'll love him from afar, content, until the day I die.
