I give you love, though I hide it away,
A whispered breeze at the break of day.
I pour my soul in the quietest streams,
Afraid you\'ll shatter my fragile dreams.
I mend your cracks with a trembling hand,
Build you castles from the softest sand.
Yet fear keeps my heart locked, unseen,
For what if you break it, as others have been?
I speak in gestures, in silences deep,
Plant seeds of care where secrets sleep.
My heart is a lantern cloaked in the night,
Guiding you softly, veiled from sight.
Do you see it, this tender glow?
The ways I care, though you may not know?
Or do you glance, then turn away,
Leaving me lost in this shadowed ballet?
For trust is a gamble, a daring flight,
A fragile hope wrapped in the night.
But what if my heart breaks once more?
Can I bear to rebuild what’s been torn?
Yet here I stand, my heart still true,
Giving my all, though I’m scared of you.
Not of your touch, but the pain you might bring
The echo of loss that makes my heart sting.
So I care in shadows, quiet and shy,
Hoping one day you’ll see past the sky.
But until then, I’ll guard this flame,
Afraid of the hurt, yet feeling the same.
