In the shadows of unrequited love,
I'll linger with each passing day,
Your gentle soul, a guiding light above,
Though you've chosen a different way.

I'll wait for you with each breath I take,
In memories, our moments ensnare,
Though distance now, my heart won't forsake,
In hope, I'll find solace there.

Till my last breath, I'll hold this flame,
For love knows no bounds, nor time,
In the echoes of your whispered name,
My heart's sweetest chime.
