by the waves, under the stars, we stand by the shore,
your eyes drift to her like they’ve always before.
i laugh at your stories, while hiding my own,
a love kept in whispers, unspoken, unknown.

the night sky above us, vast, quiet, and deep,
holds secrets like mine, that no soul can keep.
i feel the ache rise as you mention her name,
but i smile and nod, hiding sparks in the flame.

i guide you toward her, though it tears me inside,
showing the path like the pull of the tide.
for loving you means i want you to find
the one who completes you, though it’s not mine.

so here by the ocean, with stars overhead,
i help you get closer with words left unsaid.
a friend in the daylight, a heart in the dark,
loving in silence, alone with the spark.
