"A heavy heart, a secret pain,
A love that's lost, a heart in vain.
I hid my truth, my feelings deep,
But now I'm left with tears to weep.
In shadows, I watched you slip away,
Into another's arms, a love that's not mine to stay.
My heart cries out, a silent scream,
A love that's lost, a dream that's but a seam.
Oh, how I wish I'd spoken up,
Revealed my heart, my love, my all.
But fear and doubt, a crippling weight,
Kept my heart locked, a secret fate.
Now I'm left with just this pain,
A heart that's broken, a love in vain.
I'll hold on to the hope that someday,
You'll see the love I hid, the heart that's grey.
But till then, I'll hide my tears,
And cherish every memory, every sweet fear.
For loving you, though unseen, though unheard,
Is a love that's pure, a love that's truly blurred."
"In silence, I'll hold on to the past,
Memories of you, forever to last.
Though your heart belongs to another now,
Mine still beats for you, somehow.
Tears fall like rain, a sorrow so true,
Longing to be with you, my heart's cue.
But fate has spoken, a different plan,
Leaving me with this hidden heart, in hand.
Oh, how I wish to turn back time,
To reveal my love, to make you mine.
But life moves on, and so must I,
Leaving my heart, to wonder why.
In darkness, I'll hide my pain,
And cherish every moment, every sweet refrain.
For loving you, though unseen, though unheard,
Is a love that's pure, a love that's truly blurred.
Perhaps someday, our paths will cross,
And maybe then, my heart will find its loss.
But till then, I'll hold on to the thought,
Of the love we could've had, the love we've sought."
