Unspoken Ties

We were best of friends, shared every secret, Laughed till we cried, our bond was so deep. But in the quiet moments, my heart would yearn, For something more, a love unreturned. I watched you fall for someone else, Hid my tears, kept it to myself. But through it all, I stood by your side, In the shadows, where my love would hide. Unspoken words, unbroken ties, In the silence, love and friendship collide. Though my heart aches, I'll never leave, In your smile, I find my reprieve. You'd talk about your dreams, your fears, And I'd listen, holding back my tears. Every touch, every glance, a bittersweet pain, A love unspoken, yet never in vain. I watched you fall for someone else, Hid my tears, kept it to myself. But through it all, I stood by your side, In the shadows, where my love would hide. Unspoken words, unbroken ties, In the silence, love and friendship collide. Though my heart aches, I'll never leave, In your smile, I find my reprieve. Maybe someday, you'll see the truth, The love that's been here, right in front of you. But if you don't, I'll still be near, As your friend, I'll always be here. Unspoken words, unbroken ties, In the silence, love and friendship collide. Though my heart aches, I'll never leave, In your smile, I find my reprieve. In the end, if love remains unspoken, Our friendship will never be broken. For in this bond, I've found my way, In love and friendship, we'll forever stay.
