A while has passed,
Since the moment I realized I was in love with you,
And ever since, your eyes have been my sweetest labyrinth,
It's been a while now,
Since I became a silent worshipper of your every smile,
Since your name carved itself into the chambers of my heart,
It has been long,
Since my eyes first learned the art of loving you from afar,
Since my heart spoke your name out with every single beat,
A time has passed.
It feels like lifetimes have passed since that moment,
Still, the echo of my love hasn't faded,
Loving you from afar has became my favourite hobby,
As the days unfold, my love for you quietly grows,
Even in denial, my love finds its way back to you,
I've learned to pass my days without the light of your gaze,
But I never mastered the art of letting go of you,
Still alive, my love blossoms into something greater.
The memories we hold together haunt me like a shadow,
Reminding me of how effortlessly happy I used to be,
Now, grief is the sole companion of my heart,
And the silent burden of love left unspoken,
I mistook you for a passing flame,
But now, your shadow follows me in every breath,
When night falls silent and the world holds its breath,
For endless hours, my mind drifts to you, to us,
Suddenly, a wave of sorrow sweeps through my soul,
The sorrow of missing you, missing what we had,
And missing what we could be.
You fill my mind so completely, there's no room left for anything else,
I reach for other things, but your presence floods my mind like a tide,
Not a day goes by that I don't carry your absence with me,
Or lose myself in the echoes of our memories,
I forever seek the fleeting shadow of you,
But in your presence, why does my heart burn so fiercely?,
Those big, brown, beautiful eyes of yours,
So beautiful, that they bruise my heart,
Your smile, so stunning,
It melts all the walls around my heart,
Your hair dances like waves, kissed by sunlight and sea breeze,
So perfectly you, as if the stars shaped you by hand,
But your eyes unravel me in ways nothing else can,
Each time I meet your gaze, the stars come alive in your eyes.
My love for you runs so deep, it's begun to wound me,
I honor you not just with my eyes, but with all that lives within me,
It unravels me each time I come to realize…
That my heart has never known a love so boundless, so all-consuming as for you,
I am hopelessly lost inside the ocean of your soul,
And hold on to my truth, my love,
That no soul will ever burn for you as wildly as mine,
You've bewitched me, my body and soul,
Leaving me forever enchanted,
Though I fight with every breath, my love for you remains,
Far from fading, it strengthens, deeper than ever known,
Now forged into a love that cannot be broken,
And my heart shall love you through eternity's breath.
