One-Sided Hope

Walking through shadows, holding onto hope

Silent whispers of a love I can't show

I stood by her side when she needed a friend

Quietly waiting, praying it wouldn't end

She’d share her stories, her fears and her dreams

But in my heart, it’s more than it seems

She says she’s got no love to give away

Just friends is all she can say

Yet I feel a spark ignite inside

A love that’s bound to collide

I’m here, unsung, in her lonely night

Hoping someday she’ll see the light

It’s a one-sided game, a silent cry

Waiting for a love that might never lie

Chance after chance, I give my all

But her walls are standing tall

Is it just friendship, or something more?

Love’s behind an unopened door

So I’ll stand in the rain of my desire

Silent love, a burning fire

Maybe someday she'll look my way

Until then, I’ll quietly stay
