Silently Loving You Poem by Shaira Bataga

Head pounding, eyes hurting, tears falling
For years now I'm left silently loving,
You're with me but your heart's with someone else,
All I can ever do is exist in your place.

In a split second I realized,
That we were bound to be best friends for life
Romantic relationships come and go
But ours is a strong bond that will only grow.

I saw you fell in love for numerous times,
And each moment, I stand at the edge of the line,
'Should I tell him or forget the feeling? ',
I chose the latter and fall for somebody else willing.

Yet, it's odd when I look at somebody new,
All I ever do is search for a part of you,
Your soul, your music and your deep laughter,
But I know that if it's not you, I wouldn't settle.

I've looked at those brown eyes and got tempted,
The words pondered on my mind but I can't say it,
I just can't tell that I am in love with you,
Cause I'd rather break my own heart than lose you.
