You came into my life
Quietly, simply, placidly
And my words stood still...
*
I couldn't express in words
Or even in simple gestures
The secret I kept in my heart.
*
So I loved in silence,
Admired you from a distance,
Dreamt of you from afar.
*
I wanted to say I love you...
I wanted to say I care.
But cowardly, maybe, you'll only laugh at me.
*
In silence then I will love you...
In silence then I will care...
