Chapter 9 - The Smile I Never Own

You are the smile I never own,

A light that shines but stays unknown.

A fleeting warmth, a quiet glow,

A love that whispers, yet cannot show.

I feel your presence, soft and near,

A melody only my heart can hear.

Each thought of you, a gentle trace,

A shadowed dream I cannot embrace.

Like stars that sparkle in the night,

You're there but just beyond my sight.

A distant hope, a silent plea,

A longing carved in memory.

Though paths may part and words stay still,

This love remains, it always will.

Unspoken truths, yet deeply grown—

You are the smile I never own.
