I Whisper…

Oh, I whispered from the bottom of my heart,
Asking myself about love.

Should I wait —
or should I leave?
Should I reach out my hand to you —
or should I hide my feelings?

As I looked for love in secret,
and in tears,
I reached out nothing —
but the illusion of my dream.

Then I realized —
the love was never ours.
Now I whisper in secret and tears.
