I loved you in silence, in shadows unseen,
A heart that kept beating where love's never been.
You smiled for another, your eyes filled with light,
While I faded quietly into the night.
I traced every word you never would say,
Held onto the echoes that drifted away.
So I stepped back, though it shattered my soul,
For love is not chains, but setting you whole.
If he is your sun, then I'll be the rain,
Washing away all the whispers of pain.
I loved you enough to let you be free,
Even if love never led back to me.
