Whispers of a Silent Heart

By Sarthak Bharti

I long to tell you, but I'm scared, 

Years of whispers, silent and unheard, 

A love for you, a story yet undeterred, 

I know no one can grasp what I've endured, 

My heart yearns to express what it has long deferred. 

I long to tell you, but I'm scared, 

I see galaxies reflected in your eyes so bright, 

A universe of wonder, day and through the night, 

But fear, a shackle, keeps my voice subdued, 

I want to say you are my everything, but I'm scared. 

I long to tell you, but I'm scared, 

They say love understood is a blessing from above, 

But this love, my darling, only my heart can prove, 

You may never grasp the depths of what I feel, 

I want to tell you what I feel for you, but I'm scared. 

I thought you had your own life, and I couldn't dare, 

Tried moving on, thought I've moved on but my heart wouldn't bear, 

At first, I grieved you'd never understand, 

But now, I'm grateful for our bond, a love I have for you so grand, 

I want to tell you what you are for me, but I'm scared.

I want to say you are my everything, but I'm scared, 

Yet, know this, my love, before my final breath, 

My soul will sing its truth, conquering even death, 

For even if these words remain forever unsaid, 

I want to say I love you, but I'm scared.
