An unrequited love

A love that endures

An unrequited love

A heart once full of hope and dreams

Now beats with longing and silent screams

For love that's not returned, no matter how much it's given

A one-sided affair, with emotions unforgiven

He waits for her each day, with eyes so bright and bold

Hoping that she'll one day see, what he knows in his soul

But she walks right by, with not a single glance

Leaving him to suffer, with his love left to dance

His words are lost on her, as if they're just a breeze

While he aches with yearning, for her love and her keys

To unlock his heart, and set his soul free

But alas, she remains oblivious to his plea

So he holds his love within, a secret deep inside

Hoping one day she'll see, what his heart cannot hide

For the love he feels, will not fade with time

A love that endures, through the test of the climb

And though she may never know, just how much he cares

His love for her, will always be there

A flame that burns bright, in the depths of his soul

A love unrequited, but a love still whole.
