Hidden Affection

My heart speaks words I dare not say. As I watch you from day to day. In shadows deep, my feelings stay, From you, dear friend, I can’t hide. With every glance, my heart does race, Yet I stay silent, trying to keep my place. I remain where you never see, To dream of what we’ll never be. Behind a glance, my feelings hide, A love for you I can’t deny. Underneath this mask, I shall not reveal, The love I feel, it’s all too real. Signs I give, hoping you’ll see, A silent love, let it be.
