I catch his smile, and my heart skips,
But guilt floods in, like sinking ships.
For every glance, I feel the strain,
A quiet joy wrapped tight in pain.
I wish it wasn’t him I see
In dreams and thoughts that torture me.
For in his eyes, there’s a warmth, a light,
But it’s not mine to claim outright.
You love him too, and I can’t bear
The weight of feelings I shouldn’t share.
So every laugh, every word, I hide,
Burying secrets deep inside.
It eats at me, this quiet war,
What could be less, and nothing more.
For though I long, I choose to stay,
A silent friend, the honest way.
