Falling in Friendship

Whispers in the night, secrets in the air,

I stand in shadows, wondering if you care.

Familiar laughter dances through the breeze,

But every smile brings me down to my knees.

We’ve shared our dreams under starry skies,

You talk of love, yet I’m blind to your eyes.

Late-night calls, your voice a gentle song,

Every word I hold, but here I don’t belong.

And I try to decipher these tangled threads,

Every gesture, every glance, but your heart is unread.

I’m searching for signs, like a ship at sea,

Why can’t you see the light you are to me?

I’m falling like autumn leaves to the ground,

A heart full of questions, yet silence is the sound.

Can’t you hear what I feel? Can’t you see me cry?

Oh the sweetest of friendships, but I long to fly.

We watch the sunset, our hands a breath away,

I dream of closer moments, but you drift and sway.

Your heart’s not a puzzle I can solve tonight,

While I’m dancing in shadows, searching for the light.

And I wonder if you know of this ache inside,

A longing wrapped in joy, a truth I cannot hide.

Each laugh we share, I’m coding in the dark,

Why can’t I be the one who ignites your spark?

I’m falling like autumn leaves to the ground,

A heart full of questions, yet silence is the sound.

Can’t you hear what I feel? Can’t you see me cry?

Oh the sweetest of friendships, but I long to fly.

Maybe one day you’ll wake to see the light,

The love that was blossoming, hidden in plain sight.

But for now, I'll hold my heart and dream away,

In the echoes of laughter, in hopes you'll stay.

So here I stand, with a heart stitched in seams,

Falling for my friend, caught in tangled dreams.

Will you ever know how much I care,

Or am I just a whisper that drifts through the air?
