Unspoken Lines
In the rhythm of our everyday laughs,
A different beat began to echo past.
A glance that lingered, a touch that stayed,
A heartbeat that whispered, "What if today?"
We danced around the words we never said,
Afraid to speak and risk what we had bred.
The fear of losing our perfect place,
Kept our lips sealed in a careful space.
But nights grew longer, thoughts grew bold,
And in the silence, our hearts grew cold.
The what-ifs haunted like a recurring dream,
A longing that neither of us could redeem.
Perhaps someday we'll find the courage true,
To voice the feelings we've held inside anew.
Until then, we'll cherish what we share,
And hope that someday, love might dare.

In stolen moments, I catch your eye,
A flicker of doubt, a glimmer of why.
The world outside fades, and it's just us two,
The unspoken words hanging heavy, like dew.
If I take a step, will you step too?
Or will the line we draw be forever true?
The uncertainty gnaws, yet hope remains,
A spark that flickers, refusing to wane.
We laugh like always, the world unaware,
But in your silence, I find myself there.
Your voice, your smile, your quiet grace,
They’ve carved a home, my safest place.
But what if the words I long to say,
Scatter the peace and push you away?
What if the love I cannot hide,
Becomes the rift that splits our tide?
Yet, what if love could make us whole,
A friend and a lover, one heart, one soul?
What if the risk, though steep and vast,
Could build a bond that forever lasts?
For now, I’ll linger in this fragile space,
Where love and friendship gently embrace.
But one day soon, I’ll take that leap,
And trust our hearts the truth will keep
