In shadows cast by the moon's cold light,
I bear a love, unreturned, in the depths of night.
A heartache concealed, a silent, mournful cry,
For in your gaze, my love, I'm just a passerby.
I watch you from afar, a distant star's gleam,
Invisible, unnoticed, lost within a dream.
My love for you, a river, deep and wide,
Yet you, my dear, stay on the distant side.
Each day, I yearn to bridge this gaping space,
To see your smile, to feel your warm embrace.
But destiny's cruel hand, it seems, won't relent,
Leaving me in this world, love's torment.
Your laughter, a melody, in my heart it rings,
But to you, my dear, I'm invisible, it stings.
I hide my tears, behind a painted face,
In the secret corners of this lonely place.
My love, unrequited, like a wilted rose,
In the garden of my heart, it silently grows.
A painful ache, a bittersweet despair,
A love that's destined for eternal solitaire.
Though your love eludes me, I'll love you still,
In the quiet recesses of my heart, I always will.
For unrequited love, it may bring tears,
But it also holds a beauty that transcends the years
