In the quiet dusk’s sway, where shadows weave and play,
My lips withhold words, my heart in a fleeting sway.
A concealed story, whispered only in love’s spell,
Silent lips, haven for the soul to dwell.
In dreams of you, my mind takes flight,
Echoes of laughter in the gray of the night.
Your tender touch, a sweet embrace,
Fills my days with an enduring grace.
Yet, I dare not utter your name,
In fear of shattering this hidden flame.
Let not the world unveil what we sow,
Our love’s secrets in the shadows grow.
I will cherish this silence, our clandestine tie,
Love enduring, silent and high.
In the quiet, peace we find,
Hearts entwined, souls unbind.
