In the playground's gentle sway
A child with a secret, hides away
Eyes that follow, heart that flutters
Silent wishes that the breeze utters
In the heart where secrets lie
A tender gaze, a quiet sigh
Yearning for a touch, a sign
A love to claim, "forever mine"
Oh, but love's a tale untold
A feeling warm, a hand to hold
Yet in the shadows, it remains
A silent song, a heart's refrains
Laughter rings and friends they chase
But one stands still, lost in a face
Dreams of "us" like castles in the sand
Washed away by reality's hand
Love's a secret whisper in the wind
A dance of shadows that never begin
A child's heart, a hidden flame
A silent love that has no name
If only courage could bloom
From the heart's quiet room
To whisper the truth, so long concealed
In the hope that love might be revealed
Oh, but love's a tale untold
A feeling warm, a hand to hold
Yet in the shadows, it remains
A silent song, a heart's refrains
In the stillness, in the time
Love becomes real, no longer a mime
One final breath, one final stride
A child embraces love, no longer denied
