I loved you softly, without demand,
Like ocean waves upon the sand.
No chains, no weight, no silent plea,
Just love that longed to wander free.
I saw the walls you built so high,
The fears that echoed in your sigh.
But love is not a wound to hide,
It’s light that stays, not one denied.
It’s laughter shared on quiet nights,
It’s trust that never needs a fight.
It’s knowing that, through joy and ache,
Some bonds are made to never break.
I never asked for hearts to bend,
I only loved—without an end.
Yet love still lingers, soft and true,
Though never held, still meant for you.
So take your path, I'll take mine too,
No need to force what isn’t due.
Yet if one day, love finds you near,
Know I once loved—without fear.
