Whispers Beneath the Friendship Veil
Beneath the laughter, the shared disguise,
A hidden truth behind our eyes.
We wear the mask of friends so dear,
Yet secret lovers linger near.
In stolen glances, the world stands still,
A silent yearning we cannot fulfill.
Our hearts beat loud, though words stay hushed,
In friendship’s shadow, love is crushed.
Each touch, too brief, a spark concealed,
Emotions raw, yet never revealed.
We tread the line, a fragile thread,
Where love and loyalty quietly tread.
The jokes we share, the smiles we fake,
A bittersweet bond we dare not break.
For fear of ruin, for fear of pain,
We keep our love wrapped in its chain.
But oh, how sweet, this aching thrill,
The secret fire that time won’t kill.
Though we’re just friends in the world’s gaze,
Our hearts dance wild in hidden ways.
So here we stay, behind this guise,
Lovers at heart, friends in their eyes.
For now, we hide, but someday, perhaps,
We’ll set our love free from its traps.
