Silent Boundaries

Soft whispers in my mind, you’ve been there all along

A silent story, a quiet song

She walked in like a shadow, unseen but felt so clear

A familiar face that drew me near

Time rewound, and in that instant, everything felt right

But I kept my distance, held back my fight

Every laugh, every glance, etched deep in my soul

Like a quiet song I can't control

She’s my sister, in all but name

Yet feelings burn like an untamed flame

You’re the girl who’s been there from the start

A silent echo in my heart

Like a sister, a friend, a light

Fighting feelings I can't ignite

I’ll stay within the safe zone

Even if I feel alone

You’re the mystery I can’t reveal

The love that I can’t conceal

Memories cascade like waves, yet I stay silent, still

Afraid to break what is so real

In every smile, I see a universe, so vast, so bright

But boundaries hold me back, I stay in the night

Every secret glance, every kindly word

Leaves a mark that won’t be heard

Close enough to feel your soul

Too scared to make us lose control

You’re the girl who’s been there from the start

A silent echo in my heart

Like a sister, a friend, a light

Fighting feelings I can't ignite

I’ll stay within the safe zone

Even if I feel alone

You’re the mystery I can’t reveal

The love that I can’t conceal

Perhaps someday, the words will say

What my heart has always meant to pray

Until then, I’ll hold the line

Cherishing you as you are, divine

So I’ll keep the secret, keep the faith

In this silent, sacred place

You’re my everything, yet I abide

Loving you from the side.
