To My Secret Love

I am not shy but I choose to love you in secrecy,
where it is only I,
I know you are not single,
daily I am praying for your heartbreak,
so I can be your nurse and nurse your heartache.

My gallery is a store of your pictures,
every time you post, I update,
being a secret admirer, my fate,
I know your eyes aren't mine,
but I am willing to learn.

Before I retire, I stare into your eyes,
every time I am lost in your smiles,
I choose to love you in secrecy,
where it is only I,
I am not shy,
but the heart wants what it wants.

Like a passenger waiting to board,
I will patiently wait for my turn,
turn to make you mine,
but for now, I choose to hide you,
hide you in between my heart walls.

To my secret love, I love you,
each heart beat, echoes your name,
this feeling wild than wildfire, hard to tame,
if you look into my eyes they will say the same,
but I choose to love you in secrecy,
where my heart is safe.
