Love's Reverie

Whispers of Longing

In the shadows of my heart, a silent ache,

A love unspoken, a risk I cannot take.

You warned me not to fall, but I'm already deep,

Lost in thoughts of you, while you're fast asleep.

Your presence, a light in my darkest night,

But your love belongs to another, out of sight.

I yearn for you, though it's a futile quest,

For you're entwined with another, blessed.

I try to hide this longing, this desire so true,

But it burns within me, a fiery hue.

You're my closest friend, my confidant dear,

Yet my heart whispers your name, crystal clear.

I love you for you, flaws and all,

Your laughter, your smile, like a siren's call.

But you're bound to another, I must accept,

Though it feels like my heart is inept.

I'll cherish our moments, our talks so sweet,

Even though my heart skips a beat.

For you, I'll be a friend, loyal and true,

Even if my love remains overdue.

So here I stand, with a love untold,

A story of longing, bittersweet and bold.

You're my favorite friend, my guiding star,

Though my dreams of us must stay afar.
