I Love You in Silence

by Danielle Mc Henry - Aquarius

I Love You in Silence…

Quietly, as I possibly can….
In the shadows I stand, watch over you till night…
Out of the way I stay, out of your sight…
I love you in silence, voiceless with all might…

Tread lightly I do, as I take my walks with you…
Always two steps behind , never ahead, never do…
Abreast with your treks, each turn you may take…
I love you in silence, stealth in my steps with each you make…

From the distance, my eyes are peeled and focused…
On your every move, every slight twitch I am glued…
Anticipating and ready lest you fall or stumble…
I love you in silence, my arms outstretch to catch should you fumble…

In your life, I shall be within its outer limits….
Always at bay within beckon, clandestine shall be my visits…
Far and distant to not hinder you but close as a heart’s whisper…
I love you in silence, almost outside your world, softly I whimper…

I love you in silence, dearest…
As you find your way in someone else’s heart…
Cherish that being and worship that spirit’s march…
I love you beyond this world I know….

In silence, 
Should you ever notice my heart’s cries or not…..
