Silent Wish

Silent echoes of ‘what could’ve been’ fill the air

A heart whispers softly, lost in silent prayer

Once I stood in shadows, hoping you'd see

A boy with dreams, longing to be free

But time slipped away, and I lost my way

Now I stand alone, with nothing to say

If only courage had found me then

To tell you all, my now or never end

But words failed me and love stayed unseen

Living with the ghost of might-have-been

I’m sorry I wasn’t enough, I wasn’t enough

Now I’m just a man asking for love, asking for love

It seems God’s hand was against me, against me

Destined to be lonely, lost in eternity

Years turned to silence, regret’s heavy weight

From shadows of sorrow, I try to escape

Could I have loved you, if given the chance?

Would you have seen the man, not just the glance?

Hiding my truth in the depths of my soul

Afraid to tell you, to lose control

Now all I have are memories and pain

A love unspoken, a love in vain

I’m sorry I wasn’t enough, I wasn’t enough

Now I’m just a man asking for love, asking for love

It seems God’s hand was against me, against me

Destined to be lonely, lost in eternity

How do I say I loved you then, I love you still?

When words are shadows, and hearts are cold and still

If love’s a gift, I wish I could have given more

But now I’m left longing behind closed doors

I hope you're happy in the life you’ve made

While I walk this lonely path, with memories that fade

May your joy outshine the pain I hide

In the end, I just wanted your love inside
