Ghost love

Been standing in the shadows for eleven years

Watching you chase dreams, healing unseen tears

Holding onto hope when you look my way

Now I’m lost in the words I don’t know how to say

We’re closer than most, yet so far apart

You’re in my mind, you’re etched in my heart

You laugh with me, you cry with me, it’s true

But I’m just a friend, a ghost in your view

I see you loving others, fall and rise again

My love’s the quiet echo, silent pain within

Every step you take, I’m miles behind

Trapped in this love that I can’t unwind

I’ve loved you for eleven years in silence

Watching you find your happiness, your violence

My heart’s breaking, torn apart in the night

Wanting to tell you, but afraid of losing the light

So here I stand, with words unspoken

Hoping someday you’ll see what’s been broken

I carry this love, heavy like a stone

Wishing I could call you my own

Maybe someday, when the dust has fallen

You’ll see the love I’ve been callin’

Until then, I’ll hold this pain inside

Loving you quietly, my love and my pride
