I Have Loved You From a Distance
Posted on: 01/08/2025For twenty years, my heart has known,
A quiet love that’s never shown.
The day we met, the world stood still,
A gentle spark, a silent thrill.
Each time our paths would intertwine,
The brightest first minute became mine.
Your smile, my sun, a perfect day,
"I'm glad you're here," I want to say.
But when you leave, the light departs,
A hollow echo fills my heart.
I watch you fade, yet cannot speak,
A love so strong, yet soft and meek.
"So, if I asked, would you tell me?"
Do you feel it? I cannot tell.
A secret song I guard so well.
For two decades, my soul’s refrain:
I love you still, through joy and pain.
