The Raw me - As mystery unfolds

I love you, though I fail to say The thousand words I feel each day. For long years, through time’s embrace, Your memory has kept its place. I loved you then, I love you still, A quiet heart, a stubborn will. Though silence wrapped my soul so tight, Your name still glimmers in the night. Back in that office, side by side, Where dreams and deadlines would collide, We worked beneath the humming light, Through weary days and sleepless nights. And when the clock struck midnight’s chime, Those stolen breaks became sublime. The world grew still, the halls grew bare, Yet all I knew was you were there. I’d pass you by with trembling grace, Pretending calm upon my face. The scent of smoke around you stayed, A strange sweet memory never swayed. You stood so close, yet far away, Unknowing of my heart’s dismay. While I, in silence, watched you stand, And longed to simply hold your hand. You never knew the storms inside, The tides of love I tried to hide. Each glance from you, though brief and smal...

 In the shadows of the moonlit night, Where whispers linger, soft and light, She hopes he'll share what's in his heart, Yet he remains, reluctant to start. Her gentle plea, a heartfelt call, Encouraging him to break love's thrall, To reveal the depths he hides inside, In hopes their love won't be denied. Oh, tender soul, she softly cries, Let love's sweet song break through the night, In whispers soft as twilight's glow, Through words that dance on evening air, My heart reveals what words don't show, A silent vow, a tender prayer.

  You are a memory from eight years past, Back then, I was naive and young. Longing for your attention, it lasted, A phase of yearning, when our paths swung.   We drifted apart, then reconnected, A yearly conversation, a fleeting delight. Each time we spoke, my heart was affected, Yearning to confess, yet filled with fright.   Now I stand here, still unsure and shy, Hoping to express what's deep inside. In whispers soft as twilight's glow, Through words that dance on the evening air, My heart reveals what words don't show, A silent vow, a tender prayer.   In every glance, in every sigh, I speak my love with every sigh.
