Deep Purple-10°C

To the one who never knew

That moment you smiled at me across the room, completely unaware that my world shifted on its axis

You never knew. How could you? I kept it hidden, buried deep, afraid that speaking it would shatter the fragile friendship we had. So I loved you silently, desperately, hopelessly. [ What I'm Grateful For ] Thank you for existing, even if you were never mine. Thank you for the accidental touches, the moments you made me laugh without trying, the way you made ordinary days feel magical just by being in them. You gave me hope, even if it was misplaced. [ The Goodbye & The Wish ] I'm letting go of the fantasy now. The version of you I loved exists only in my mind, and I need to release it to make room for something real. I hope you find love—the kind I couldn't give you because you never wanted it from me. Be happy, even if it's not with me.
