I loved him like a secret flame,
burning in the quiet, soft and low.
He never looked my way for long,
but I stayed... too afraid to go.
He spoke in glass and silence,
a mind too sharp to hold.
I traced the cracks he hid beneath-
in dreams I wasn't told.
He called her name behind his eyes,
a ghost I couldn't chase.
And though I smiled, he never saw
the ache behind my face.
I gave him warmth he never asked,
and words I'll never say-
because I was the girl beside the girl
he wanted every day.
Still, if he reached, I would've gone,
into the dark, the flames, the storm.
To be the shadow of his love...
To be the place he kept warm.
Sorry for the interruption, but I just wanted to recommend a fan fiction story I recently finished writing!
Thanks for checking it out if you do!
