To Love in Silence
My heart longs deeply,
and I am unable to remain unfazed whenever I see you.
It’s tragic to think that,
aside from the fact that there was never a "you and me,"
I cannot even hold your hand freely.
I am completely unable to call out your name
or look straight into your eyes to say:
"Whenever I don’t see you,
my eyes search endlessly, just to catch a glimpse of you,
even if it’s only your shadow.
I long to hear your voice,
even if it’s not my name that falls from your lips.
I’ll keep the heartache within,
just to keep your smile whenever you speak of someone else."
