Never Told You

I never told you, though I still yearn for your grace,

Deep feelings inside that no words dare replace.

I won't speak out plainly, rejection I dread,

I halt every moment, hold back what's unsaid.

I've squandered such chances by standing so still,

Oh, if you'd hear these words, you'd know of my will,

Your ears hold the secret that yet I fulfill.

I never told you, still your face fills my dreams,

Your image so constant, it's bursting the seams.

No matches I wish from the apps on my phone,

My heart's still all yours, though I wander alone.

I see others, yes, and they surely look fine,

But none share your essence, so perfect, divine,

In beauty and spirit, no rival can shine.

I never told you, each day I unravel anew,

Don't shoulder the blame, all the fault's mine, it's true.

I fall far too swiftly, enflamed in a flash,

When someone else comes, old feelings may crash.

But 'til that dawn rises, my heart's stuck in place,

I cling to your echo, to your gentle trace.

Though time might erase what now tears me apart,

For now, all my world still resides in your heart.

I never told you, I send messages still,

Hoping these fragments might bend your own will.

I text random topics, as if they could sway,

Some hint in your mind, perhaps shifting one day.

No moment can pass without asking me why,

I stumbled and lost you, just watching time fly.

I never told you, how these songs overflow,

All crafted from worry that you're fine, I must know.

I ache to assist, to reach out and to care,

To stand at your side, offer comfort so rare.

I long to be woven through life's gentle stream,

A part of your world, not just living in dream.

I never told you, each day I unravel anew,

Don't shoulder the blame, all the fault's mine, it's true.

I fall far too swiftly, enflamed in a flash,

When someone else comes, old feelings may crash.

But 'til that dawn rises, my heart's stuck in place,

I cling to your echo, to your gentle trace.

Though time might erase what now tears me apart,

For now, all my world still resides in your heart.
