Sometimes I hide the truth in words that dance among shadows and lights

Sometimes I hide the truth in words that dance among shadows and lights,
I tell you that I want nothing from you, not even in exchange for these lines,
But if you look deeply, you'll see how I try to make you mine in silence,
Persistently, in ways I hope you won't notice, but always feel.
I sometimes hide you between verses, only I know you're there, a secret kept,
Other times I write you so openly, it feels like I'm baring my soul to you,
And when you read, I wait for that spark, that moment when you recognize yourself in them,
In every curve of my sentences, a mirror reflecting your essence.
I don't care for compliments, I don't long for applause or hollow praises,
All I want are pieces of you, a smile, a word, a shared laugh,
Just enough to keep alive the hope that one day you'll be part of me,
A dream intertwined with reality, a story told in whispers and silences.
