unspoken feelings <poetry>

Lingering Hope

In the depths of my heart, a hope does reside,
A longing for the day our paths will collide,
We saw each other on that fateful train,
But the words remained unspoken, lost in the rain.

A chance encounter, a moment in time,
Yet shyness held us back, we couldn't find,
The courage to speak, to bridge the divide,
But in our hearts, the hope still resides.

You moved away, your eyes did stray,
Intimidated by my beauty, I dare say,
But little did you know, my heart did soar,
To see you again, to cherish even more.

For in your presence, the world does gleam,
A radiant light, a mesmerizing dream,
I thought I saw a mirage, a trick of the eye,
But it was you, my love, passing me by.

In the echoes of that fleeting gaze,
A lingering hope, like a hidden blaze,
That one day, fate will intertwine,
And you'll be mine, and I'll be thine.

Until then, my heart will wait,
With hope and love, a patient state,
For the day our paths align once more,
And our unspoken words find the shore.

In this sea of uncertainty, I hold on tight,
To the hope that burns like a guiding light,
For even though we missed our chance that day,
Our love will find a way, come what may.
