We talk all night under the moon,

Sharing secrets, me and you.

Your laugh lights up my darkest skies,

But I’m stuck hiding behind the lies.

Every time you say my name,

It feels like fire, it feels like rain.

But I keep it inside, play it cool,

While you don’t see I’m breaking the rules.

I wish you’d see me, more than a friend,

Not just the one you call when it ends.

I’m here waiting, heart open wide,

Hoping someday you’ll see what I hide.

But for now, I’m just a shadow,

In your world, where I can’t follow.

You tell me about the ones you love,

I smile, though it’s not enough.

How can I compete with ghosts you chase,

When I’m the one right in your space?

Every hug feels like a tease,

I’m falling harder, you're at ease.

I tell myself it’s just a phase,

But I’m lost in this endless maze.

I wish you’d see me, more than a friend,

Not just the one you call when it ends.

I’m here waiting, heart open wide,

Hoping someday you’ll see what I hide.

But for now, I’m just a shadow,

In your world, where I can’t follow.

What if I told you, would it all fall apart?

Would I lose my place in your heart?

But I can’t keep living this way,

So maybe I’ll tell you… maybe someday.

I wish you’d see me, more than a friend,

Not just the one you call when it ends.

I’m here waiting, heart open wide,

Hoping someday you’ll see what I hide.

But if I stay just a shadow,

Will you ever know, will you ever know?

I’m in love with you, can’t pretend,

But I’ll still be here, till the end.

Even if I’m just a shadow...

In your world, where I can’t follow.
