Ephemeral Echoes Of Love

Adrian's Journey Through Unrequited Affection

By Alnold WafulaPublished 10 months ago 2 min read

In the realm where emotions play their game, A tale of love and longing, we proclaim, Adrian, a soul enshrouded in desire, In Shanny's gaze, he found a ceaseless fire.

In shadows cast by love's capricious whim, Two hearts entwined, yet destinies grew dim, For Adrian, with hope his heart did tether, But Shanny's love remained elusive, whether.

In twilight's tender hue, their story wove, As Adrian's heart swayed, wrapped in dreams of love, Yet Shanny, distant like a distant star, Left Adrian yearning from near and afar.

He cherished every stolen glance they shared, In fleeting moments, secrets were declared, But Shanny's heart, a puzzle he couldn't mend, For love's true grasp, she wouldn't quite extend.

Their conversations, whispers in the night, Revealed a world where love was taking flight, But Shanny's heart held secrets, well concealed, And Adrian's love, a love to long revealed.

As time marched on, the truth grew ever clear, Shanny's heart remained distant, far from near, Adrian, wounded by love's piercing dart, Knew he must let go, though it tore him apart.

He penned his feelings on a tear-stained page, A letter that expressed his love and rage, He told her that he'd cherish what they had, But without her love, his heart grew ever sad.

The pain of letting go, a heavy cost, Adrian knew that love, once gained, was lost, He set his love for Shanny free to roam, In hope that one day she'd find a home.

Through sleepless nights and tear-filled days, he grieved, The love he gave, the love he'd soon retrieve, For in the depths of love, a bittersweet decree, Sometimes to set love free, is to set love free.

So Adrian walked away, his heart undone, A battle lost, but battles he'd outrun, For love, though unrequited, still holds sway, In the heart of Adrian, come what may.

And as the years rolled on, a truth was found, In letting go of love, new love is bond, Adrian's heart, though scarred by Shanny's flight, Found a new love, a love that burned so bright.

In love's intricate dance, we find our way, Through heartache, tears, and the light of day, Adrian's story, a testament to grace, A love once lost, but in time replaced.
