Distance
A one-sided love story …
In the deepest corner of a youthful heart,
Shattered and fractured in countless ways,
Dreams are crafted only to fall apart.
There exists a gentle love, untouched and unreturned,
An eternal flame that burns without a sound.
There’s a spark within him, almost unseen.
From the shadows, he observes with profound emotions,
Imagining futures, conjuring scenes.
Yet a silent voice within reminds him,
“These dreams may never become real.”
He is captivated by her laughter, her every gesture and sigh,
While she remains oblivious, caught in her world’s reel.
He shares his heart’s tales with the moon and the sun,
His sorrow echoed under the starlit sky.
But for her, the world has different colors, different songs,
Every distant look, every fleeting moment, he holds close,
Like a cherished memory, where his heart belongs.
He paints his hopes with the essence of her smile,
Yet reality keeps them miles apart.
He writes his emotions, wishing she’d understand someday,
That she’s the centrepiece of his world’s art.
But life, with its unpredictable dance and time’s irony,
Keeps her out of reach.
Amidst the noise or the hush of life, they might cross paths,
But she remains unaware of the depth of his feelings,
Of a love so intense, yet unspeakable.
For unrequited love is both a blessing and a curse,
A moment of happiness, soon followed by averse.
Even if he’s reaching for a star that’s too far,
His affection for her remains undiminished.
And though she may never understand his silent dedication,
To him, she remains unparalleled, a love without end.
