unrequited love

In shadows cast by moonlight's gentle gleam, Unrequited love, a silent, lonely theme. A heart that beats, aches with a fervent fire, Yet in the depths of longing, hope expires. In secret dreams, I dared to reach for you, But you remained a distant, starlit hue. Your laughter, like a melody, did play, Yet in your world, I couldn't find my way. I watched you from afar, a silent muse, Admiring how your every step did cruise. But in your gaze, I found no mirrored grace, Just emptiness, a vast and empty space. A thousand words unsaid, unspoken dreams, I wove a tapestry with silent seams. Each stolen glance, a bittersweet caress, Yet never knowing if you'd love me less. The ache of unrequited love, a storm, A tempest in my soul, a love forlorn. Though you may never feel the way I do, In shadows, I'll remain, forever true. For unrequited love, a painful art, Still beats within my ever-loving heart. Though our paths may never truly align, In my dreams, your love will always shine.
