A sober meditation on an unspoken love that never came to fruition. Through recurring dreams, sustained silence, and words left unsaid, the poem examines how certain bonds never fully dissipate. They remain embedded in the heart, a measured reminder of the possibilities that circumstance and time ultimately withheld from us.
# The Silence Between Two Hearts #
If you had heard my silent heart,
Perhaps we wouldn’t be worlds apart.
If only we’d defied the world,
And let our dreams of love unfurl.
I meet you nightly in my dreams,
Then wake to silence, lost in screams.
I smile by day, but none can see
The ache your absence leaves in me.
I have no blame, no last goodbye,
Just words unsaid and tears I hide.
Some loves don’t end; they simply stay,
Unlived, unspoken, tucked away.
If you’d heard what my heart once knew,
Perhaps my story had begun with you.

Some relationships never find a name, yet remain alive in the deepest corners of the heart. Perhaps the saddest part of love is not separation, but a story that never had the courage to begin.
Some people leave our lives, but never truly leave our hearts. They return in dreams, linger in silences, and live forever in unspoken memories.
Perhaps not every love is meant to find fulfilment; some are simply meant to be felt, silently and forever.
A deeply touching expression.

There’s something so beautifully melancholic about love that remains unspoken. Sometimes, the hardest goodbyes are the ones that never happened, and the deepest feelings are the ones we never found the courage to express. This poem captures that ache so gently. 🤍
