Hers To Find

Published on 8 May 2025 at 16:09

She will never know…

 

The broken heart of a man that loved her,

unconditionally—platonically—serendipitously.

I can never choose the right words,

and yet, I still know what she means to me, 

 

Though she does not,

and never will. 

 

She will never know…

 

That I think about her all moments of the day,

and in my dreams when lying awake at night, 

Her memory, trapped within my heartbeat, 

and the potential for a future to be, 

 

I doubt will ever be,

because who am I?

I am a nobody in her life.

 

She will never know… 

 

Because I refuse to ruin what's already there,

and I would rather her be happy. 

I would support her from afar,

because I care,

 

Though, if only she could see… 

 

Then perhaps the sorrow would disappear,

and the seasons would change. 

I could return to a world without fear,

and she would be here… no more rain.

 

She will never know… 

 

That I would give up my life for this girl,

and that I would make sure she was cared for.

I would give her the entire world,

and open up every door…

 

to all the wonders of the universe,

and the evermore. 

 

She will never know,

She will never know,

 

I'll do what I must,

behind the scenes,

to keep her safe,

and to watch her thrive. 

 

But she will never know, 

because it is my love to hide—

and hers to find.
