I Loved You Unseen

I stood in the quiet, the passage of time,

Holding a secret that never aligned.

Every breath carried what I couldn't show,

A love like a river that refused to let go.

But silence built walls I could never break,

The words in my chest were too heavy to take.

So I loved you unseen, as the years drifted wide,

Like a lantern that burns where no one can find.

Unspoken devotion, a door left closed,

A love everlasting, though hidden, though froze.

I watched from afar, the paths that you chose,

Carrying feelings that nobody knows.

A flower that blooms where no one can see,

A truth that belongs only to me.

Time may erase the lines on my face,

But it can't dim the warmth I still embrace.

Even unspoken, it shines in the night,

A beacon that burns without needing the light.

I loved you unseen, as the years drifted wide,

Like a lantern that burns where no one can find.

Unspoken devotion, a door left closed,

A love everlasting, though hidden, though froze.

And though you'll never know,

This love will always grow.
