Secret Love

While you sleep tonight
I’ll come to you by the moonlight
And silently etch in your heart words few
Words saying ‘I love you’.

Softly my heart will touch your
You’ll know someone was there for sure
But that someone was me, you’ll never know
For my secret love is silent as a doe.

And just for the reason
We have to stay friends and never abandon
I’ll suppress my feelings for you
Will confess guiltily askew.

I’ll forget the pain and needs dire
Will let the wind cease my fire
Only to set a sail of hope anew
Hope that someday you’ll love me too.
