Behind the mask

In the silence of the night,

Thoughts whisper, oh so bright,

Caught between the heart and mind,

A love so rare, yet so confined.

He walks the halls, with a smile so true,

But deep inside, he knows it’s far from blue.

Every glance, every word she speaks,

Leaves him weak, makes his heart peak.

Days roll by, like a favorite song,

But his heart’s in a battle, it feels so wrong.

He’s building walls, brick by brick,

Afraid to leap, afraid to risk.

So he’s pouring out his soul,

In the gym and on the road,

Chasing dreams, while he hides away,

From the words he longs to say.

Waiting for a sign, a spark divine,

To break these chains, and call her mine.

Late nights he ponders, beneath the stars,

What if she laughs, what if it scars?

Each moment spent, feels like a test,

A glimpse of hope, but he’s scared of the rest.

So he channels his fears into something bold,

Building strength, while the story unfolds.

Love’s a dance, and he’s learning the steps,

Holding tight to dreams, as he takes deep breaths.

So he’s pouring out his soul,

In the gym and on the road,

Chasing dreams, while he hides away,

From the words he longs to say.

Waiting for a sign, a spark divine,

To break these chains, and call her mine.

Clock keeps ticking, and the seasons change,

Will he find the courage to rearrange?

A moment’s now, a fleeting chance,

To step right up and ask for that dance.

So he breathes in deep, with a heart on fire,

The moment’s near, he can’t retire.

No longer hiding, he’ll stand so tall,

And if he falls, he’ll rise through it all.

A love that’s true is worth the wait,

He’ll find the right time before it’s too late.
