Whispered Romance

[Verse] I've never felt the magic, they say turns night to day, Just seen it pass in shadows, like moonlight slipping away, Through whispers soft and tender, where hearts with secrets play, But love’s a distant echo, just stories birds relay. [Verse 2] I’ve danced alone with longing, to songs of sweet despair, In cafés dim and lonely, where lovers often stare, Their murmured words of passion, perfume the quiet air, Yet still I sit and wonder, at love that hangs so rare. [Chorus] Oh, love’s a silent specter, a tale I've yet to trace, A portrait still unfinished, with lines I can't embrace, I’ve seen it in the glances, the smiles that interlace, But oh, to feel it truly, to touch that sacred grace. [Verse 3] I've walked the paths of poets, where verses linger near, With every rhyme a promise, of love that conquers fear, But all these tales are borrowed, just someone else's cheer, As I sit drinking coffee, alone year after year. [Verse 4] I’ve heard the silver laughter, that lovers leave behind, In rain-kissed conversations, where two hearts intertwine, Each word a fragile promise, like notes in gentle wind, Yet all I know is dreaming, a love I cannot find. [Bridge] Someday I'll paint the canvas, with colors of my own, A sunrise kiss, a moonlit walk, where seeds of love are sown, Until that day, I'll listen, to tales the night has known, And dream of whispered romance, in words no longer lone.
