I pursued what my heart revered,
until affection became an intrusion.
I mistook persistence for devotion,
and hope for something destined to remain.

Then I understood the distance between us
a boundary I had no right to cross.
So I withdrew without resentment,
relinquishing the desire to be chosen.

Let her remain within her own world,
untouched by my expectations.
For some feelings are not meant to be confessed,
but carried silently,
where distance cannot extinguish them.

Perhaps she will forget me with time.
Perhaps I will become nothing
but a forgotten chapter.
Yet what I feel remains
indelible, unspoken, and unfading.

Behind these words lies a story of love, restraint, and acceptance. Turn the card to see my perspective.
