They say silence speaks wisdom's truth,
But your quietness drew us apart.
Many times I shared my heart with you,
Whispered love, dreamed of joining hearts.

You never answered with words,
Just smiled and turned away.
I tried to read between your silences,
Yet your true feelings never revealed their way.

Life took turns unforeseen,
Family’s hopes drew lines we crossed.
I moved afar, to foreign shores,
With no trace of you in the chaos lost.

Now years later, I return anew,
Heard you've settled miles away from here.
Still alone, *****, unbound—
How do I comprehend this silent fear?

Your habit of few words, your quiet charm,
Built a distance neither of us planned.
Yet memories of you linger close,
Like whispered shadows, hand in hand.
