The Weight of Unspoken Love
Not all love is declared in grand gestures. Sometimes, love is carried quietly, held within, protected from the world. It’s the kind of love that stays in the spaces between words, in glances, in moments that never needed to be spoken aloud.
This poem, I Chose to Love You in Silence, explores the beauty and the ache of loving someone without ever saying a word.
I Chose to Love You in Silence
I chose to love you in silence,
Where no words could betray me.
In the quiet corners of my mind,
I built a world where you were mine.I loved you in the spaces between,
In the pauses of conversations,
In the glance that lasted a second too long,
In the touch that almost happened.I carried love like a whispered secret,
A feeling never meant to be spoken.
And maybe you’ll never know,
But in another life—
Perhaps I would have told you.
The Love That Stays Unsaid
Some love isn’t meant to be spoken—it simply exists, untouched by reality. I Chose to Love You in Silence is for those who have felt love but never voiced it, for those who have carried someone in their heart without ever claiming them.
