Unspoken Feelings

I tucked the stirrings of an entire youth away in my heart, never daring to say them aloud.

Countless times, I secretly watched her walk away, burying all those little fragments of affection in our day-to-day interactions.

This secret crush, known only to me, had no confession and no happy ending.

With my heart full of things left unsaid, all that remained was the ache of a love that went unanswered.
