Closer than confession

We began with a misunderstanding,

The sky was gloomy, my heart uneasy.

But day by day,

We met again and again.

Never thought this feeling would come,

From calm it turned into ache.

From hatred into comfort,

From strangers into friends.

Silently I gaze at your face,

Without a word I keep this feeling.

Not wanting to ruin what’s beautiful now,

So I let this love… stay on its own.

We laugh, we are close,

Yet distance still lingers.

For I fear losing you,

More than I long for confession.

Silently I write your name,

In my prayers, in the quiet of night.

Though my heart keeps yearning,

I let this love… remain unknown to you.

If one day you feel the same,

Come, even if only with words.

But if that day never comes,

I’ll still be happy… to be your friend forever.
