The Unspoken A-Z

All it took was a look at you, a silent plea. 
Bright in your eyes, I saw what could be. 
Crushing, intoxicating feelings, a powerful sway. 
Desire to know you more, day by day. 
Excitedly, I waited for our first connection. 
Fearful of your possible rejection. 
Gently, you gave me a glimpse of your mind. 
Hushed conversations and truths we would find. 
Inside our shared stories, a bond took hold. 
Joyful was the tale that began to unfold. 
Kindness was all that you ever did lend. 
Lost in a dream, I thought this was the end. 

My heart was a promise I'd made for all time. 
Now I see a friendship, a rhythm, not rhyme. 
Only as a friend, your affection remains. 
Painful, the realization, my heart in its chains. 
Quietly, I accept the path you have chosen. 
Reaching for a hand that is not to be frozen. 
Staying by your side, a different kind of love. 
True happiness for you is all I dream of. 
Upon your joy, my own heart learns to smile. 
Valuing your happiness more than mine. 
Wishing a life of light for your days. 
Xenial and kind is your soul, in so many ways. 
Your happiness is a prize, no matter the cost. 
Zero of my love will ever be lost.
