Love in silence (Ife)
<p>I loved you in silence, no words could I say Ife,</p><p>Yet my heart screamed your name in its own quiet way.</p><p>Every smile you gave, I locked deep within,</p><p>A private gallery where you have always been.</p><p><br/></p><p>I loved you in silence as you walked by,</p><p>Holding my breath as you caught my eye.</p><p>I watched you laugh, I watched you glow,even your videos.</p><p>And silently loved you more than you’d ever know.</p><p><br/></p><p>I loved you in silence, with no right, no claim,</p><p>I never dared to even speak your name.</p><p>You lived in the sunlight, I lived in the shade,</p><p>A hidden star that your light made.</p><p><br/></p><p>I loved you in silence, and oh, it was true,</p><p>So close to your world, yet so far from you.</p><p>But silence kept my heart safe from view,</p><p>It was the only way I knew to love you.</p><p><br/></p><p>And if you ever ask me why, </p><p>Why this silence never said goodbye,</p><p>It’s because some loves are born to keep,</p><p>Too pure to speak, too deep to weep.</p>
