A silent observer, I watch you from afar, Each graceful movement, a radiant star. My heart aches softly, a bittersweet song, Knowing my admiration can never belong. I trace the curve of your smile, so bright, A beacon of joy, in my lonely night. Your laughter echoes, a melody sweet, A symphony playing, my soul can't repeat. But in your eyes, a wall stands tall, A silent rejection, answering my call. I yearn for connection, a touch, a glance, Yet find myself lost, in this hopeless dance. The dream I cherish, begins to fade, As reality's harsh truth is gently laid. A fragile hope, now shattered and torn, Leaving me empty, utterly forlorn. So I'll keep my distance, a respectful bow, Masking the pain that I feel right now. For unrequited love, a silent plight, Can break a heart, and dim its light.
