I loved you in the quiet hours,
Where words dared not betray.
In stolen glances, secret smiles,
I let my heart obey.

Each moment spent beside you,
A treasure I never shared.
The world may never know it,
But in silence, I truly cared.

Your laughter was my morning song,
Your presence, my evening light.
But I kept my feelings hidden deep,
A secret held too tight.

For fear that speaking love aloud,
Might shatter what we've known,
I chose instead to love in shadows,
In a world that's all my own.

In every space you left behind,
I lingered, though unseen.
My heart a quiet echo,
Of what could never be.

And though you may never hear it,
In the silence of this truth,
I've loved you with a quiet fire,
Since the days of our youth.

Perhaps some loves are meant to bloom,
Without a single sound.
And in that space, though words are lost,
A deeper love is found.
