You told me once,
“Do not give up on love...
it will find you,
the truest love.”

But when I look into your eyes,
I see it there
you, the love I cannot have.

If only you knew the mask I wear,
how I’ve been breaking in silence,
at my lowest,
still hoping
that it would be you
who finds me in love.
This poem is my quiet confession—a truth I never said out loud. It’s about being told to trust love, to wait for it, yet realizing the love I was asked to wait for was already standing right in front of me.

It’s the ache of seeing him, the one I cannot have, while hiding behind a mask of strength. It’s the longing to be found, to be chosen, even while breaking in silence.
