Unsee

You looked at me like you don’t know

The miles I’ve walked to keep us close

I stayed when the silence hurt the most

Still you ask if my love shows

I’ve bent in ways I’ve never said

Held in tears, smiled instead

But maybe love, to you, looks loud

And quiet hearts don’t make you proud

If you only saw

The weight I carry just to stand

If you only knew

What I give without demand

I may not speak it like a song

But I’ve loved you all along

Even when you question if I care at all

I cook, I wait, I watch, I pray

Hope you feel my love each day

But I’m not perfect with my words

So maybe all of it went unheard

I know I fail, I trip, I freeze

But I’m not cold, I’m just at ease

Loving you without a script

Even when my heart feels skipped

Don’t make me prove it every time

My heart is not a test to climb

I’m still here—that should be enough

But if you need more, I’ll give love tough

If you only saw

The silent ways I’ve fought for you

If you only knew

How much I’ve buried to stay true

I may not shine the way you dream

But I am real—I don’t pretend

And my love's not yours to doubt again
