do you see me in the quiet spaces where the heart dares to speak?
do you hear the whispers of my longing, or are they lost in the echoes, weak?

your eyes are windows to a world unseen,
that hold secretes that i crave to know.
& yet i wonder if you ever notice me,
or if my presence is but a fleeting glow.

i’ve painted pictures in my mind of moments we could share in a future that could be bright,
but here i stand on the precipice,
unseen, unheard, fading into the night,
wondering if your heart beats as mine does.

do you see the passion that brims within or am i chasing phantoms in the air?
should i let go of this fragile dream or hold on tight to a hope that could be the end me?

in the silence of unanswered questions,
i can’t help but wonder:
in my quiet yearning, do you see me?
