MAYBE

In the depths of her tender heart,
unrequited love resides.
A sorrowful tale,
where reality and dreams collide.
For in her silence, the truth concealed, hidden from his sight.
She yearns to share her ardent love,
in the softest whispers of the night.

Like a delicate flower,
she blooms with secret desire.
Falling for him,
her heart's sole eternal fire.
Yet destiny's cruel hand has played a twisted game,
Her love one-sided, her soul left aflame.

But amidst the shadows,
a ray of hope does gleam.
A truth she wishes to share,
beneath twilight's golden beam.
For it matters not if their paths stray apart,
As long as she knows he lingers, anchored within her heart.

Perhaps in this life,
their love may never meet.
Destined to tread separate paths,
never to entreat.
But in the depths of her soul,
another lifeline unfolds.
Where their love might embrace,
as destiny reshapes and molds.

And if not in this life, hope whispers, 'twixt her tears,
Then maybe in the next, love shall overcome her fears,
For her devotion knows no bounds, no matter the cost,
Her heart would yearn for him, through every life that's lost.

And if even in the next life, their souls still wander astray,
She'd ask for a mere presence, no words left to say,
For a life without him is an unbearable void,
A world painted in shadows, a reality destroyed.

For love, it knows no limits, no borders to confine,
Her devotion a symphony, echoing through time,
One-sided, yet eternal, her love will always remain,
And knowing he's there, her solace shall sustain.

So let fate decide, its mysterious way to unfold,
But in her heart, dear reader, behold,
A love that's everlasting, beyond life's endless sea,
For she can't imagine a world without him, you see.
