I've lost myself in your eyes, do you know it?I've loved you silently, didn't you notice it?In the midst of words, I stayed quiet,Shying away, while my heart yearned for you in the silent night.
You passed by, the wind blowing fiercely,Unseen by my heart, a wave of enchantment came rushing in,Yet, somehow, I stood frozen, not speaking,No matter how much my eyes spoke, my lips remained weak.
Who knows, if you knew, would you turn back?Or would you mock me and walk away, leaving me in lack?This fear swallowed my words, kept my pain at bay,I love you, yet I haven't said it—this is all I can say.
Will you ever understand, the language of silence?In my eyes was a story, hiding hope, hiding defiance.Maybe one day, if I can speak it out, with a trembling tone,That day, perhaps, love will come to me, in the quiet of your heart alone.
