I've loved you quietly, ever since,
Before the world could make me flinch,
Before I knew that love could ache,
Or hearts could crack, or voices break.

I held you in each hidden prayer,
In stolen glances, silent stares,
You were the hope I didn’t name,
The constant in a world that changed.

But loving you, though pure and true,
Feels like a gift I can't give you.
Not whole, not right , not what you need,
Not what your heart deserves to keep.

So I will try to walk away,
Though part of me will always stay.
You need a love that has no doubt,
No fear, no shadows stretched throughout.

Mine never wavered, never strayed,
But pain still lived where love once laid.
And though it breaks me, still I’ll go
You deserve more than I can show.

Yet even from a world apart,
You’ll always live inside my heart.
And if you ask me why I do
It’s because I’ve always loved you.
I'm saving this poem because it deeply resonates with how I feel. I’m dedicating it to someone I’ve loved for a long time—someone who never knew, and I never asked for clarity. I waited, but I don’t think he ever felt the same. Still, I’ve kept this feeling hidden for so long, and it remains the greatest secret I continue to hold.

I do not fear love
I fear the gravity of him.
He is the storm wrapped in sunlight,
the gentle ruin of every wall I built.

His presence is poetry
a language my soul has always known
but never dared to speak.
He is fire beneath silk,
the hush before a kiss,
the ocean tide that pulls at the shores of my restraint.

To fall for him
would be to surrender my wings
to a sky that might never let me go and yet,
what sweeter fall is there than into a heart
that feels like forever?
A tender unraveling of guarded love, this poem captures the magnetic pull of a soul-stirring connection where desire, fear, and surrender intertwine. It's a meditation on falling for someone who feels like both danger and destiny, written in the language of longing.

Love unspoken is a whispered lie
A truth restrained left high and dry
For anything less than ' I love you'
Is a heart denying what it already knew.

To hold back love is to betray
A silent truth we push away
For hearts that feel yet dare not say,
are only lying in delay.

Love isn't just a word to say,
but the quiet ways we choose to stay.
A touch, a glance, the space we fill
Love is present even still.
This poem I made it by what I understand about the song of Friends, Lovers or Nothing by John Mayer. Thus love is only a basis to friendship or it is more than that?

I told my soul to rest to let your absence be
But why this constant falling make this soul's insanity
Each glimpse, a bitter nectar a joy that cuts like pain
How do I unweave this feeling?

This feeling of consuming chain
I've waited through the silence
Where dreams have turned to gray
Now I'm steeped in blue, where longing holds its sway.
I want to burry this kind of feeling and just move on. But how? How can I unloved someone I have loved for so long?

I chased the butterflies your actions spun
Only to learn they were a phase undone
My subtle words a love I longed to share
Met with a silence a feeling beyond repair

A single word and I'd have crossed the waves
And build a world that I long to dream
But deeper knowing brings a deeper fall
Your crave for silence to escape it all

I wished you knew this hope so frail and slight
Longed for your words to make it truly bright
To bury moments and release your hold
And if I asked, what story would be told?
A tender reflection on unspoken love and one-sided longing, this poem captures the ache of holding onto fleeting moments and unanswered hopes. It explores the quiet heartbreak of waiting for a word that never came, and the silent weight of stories left untold.
