Unspoken Love

By Rishav Mantri

With you, my love, I find a joy I can't explain,

There's something so comforting when we meet again.

I wonder when this love first took hold of my heart,

Yet I ache at the thought that I’ve never expressed this part.

I pondered a bit, my heart whispered so clear,

Though love may be real, the truth brings a tear.

Even the divine seems to keep us apart,

This love feels heavy, a weight on my heart.

There’s pain deep within, yet for your joy, I’d bear,

This ache is a small price, for your happiness, I swear.

May all the joys of this world come your way,

I only pray for your smiles, day after day.

As you venture forward into a life that’s your own,

Know that this love, though silent, has beautifully grown.

In the shadows of dreams, where stories remain,

I cherish the moments, though they may cause pain.

Like the tales of old, with endings untold,

My heart will keep loving you, as our stories unfold.

And if one day fate allows our paths to align,

I’ll speak of this love, as pure and divine.

But until that moment, in silence I’ll stay,

Forever your admirer, come what may.
