I never expected to fall into this kind of love, a love I carry alone, a feeling that lives inside me without ever reaching you, I love you in silence, afraid that if I speak you will walk away and if I stay quiet I will keep hurting, I watch you from afar, happy for your smile and broken by your sadness as if I am part of your world when in truth I am nothing in it, every word you say stays with me and every small detail grows in my heart while you know nothing about it, I try to convince myself it is just a passing feeling but it is far deeper than that, I am tired of pretending I am okay while I quietly fall apart inside, I never asked you to love me but I wished you could feel me, see the heart that truly loves you, maybe I will always be this way loving you in silence carrying this secret alone, and maybe one day I will learn how to let go or how to live with it without all this pain, but until then I will keep loving you alone.
