you loved me in silence
while i was busy loving myself
and you never knew
how much i waited for your voice
to call my name
your love was a whisper
that i held in my palms
but you never heard me
calling back
sometimes
i wonder if you ever
looked at me that way
or was i just a shadow
passing through your life
still
i carry the ache
a quiet reminder
hoping one day
you will see me
not as a ghost
but as the one
who loved you
unconditionally
