"I Love You"

Image
Her teardrop betrayed The 'I love you' she never said The pain that she felt Couldn't make his heart melt For how would he know sitting miles away? That this distance made her cry everyday She languished to be within his sight To see him, touch him, hug him so tight! Her heart thus yearned to be his dear But all he cared was for his career He knew not of the love she hid in her heart She feared rejection would keep them apart Thus secretly she loved, openly only as a friend To ensure her love story doesn't come to an end It was bitter sweet, this love story of hers Overwhelmed by love but not to be lovers Only if she had mustered the courage to tell She could have known that he liked her as well Yes, he liked her, very much indeed But he too was afraid to confess & concede Hearing tales of unrequited love's aftermath He chose to avoid this unpredictable path Working hard, burning midnight oil
