I will love her in secret

Someone I just loved, I never knew how to tell her this

She makes me feel in a way no other girl ever has. She makes my heart race, and when night comes, I can't sleep, thinking about her all night. My feelings for her are like a secret garden, beautiful but hidden away from the world, filled with blooms that yearn for sunlight.

Her smile lights up my darkest days, and her laughter echoes in my mind like a melody I can't forget. We are just friends, but every time we speak, I feel my heart betraying me, wishing for more. Yet, I stay silent, knowing she might never feel the same.

I wonder if it's better to keep these feelings locked away or risk losing her altogether. The thought of confessing terrifies me as much as the thought of never telling her at all. A part of me dreams she feels the same, that one day she'll look at me with more than friendship in her eyes. But another part fears that if I say a word, everything will change forever.

Author's Note

Have you ever felt this way? If so, do you have the courage to express your feelings to him/her?

I wish I could, but I never seem to find the strength. 😭

I did but it ruined 4 years of our friendship...I was dumb..I do not regret sharing... but I regret not being able to communicate properly... He already had a girlfriend...I knew it..I didn't expected him to return the love to me.. but yeah wished that what if he feels the same.....I just wanted to be with him forever.. even as a friend...

[Lobos]

It's about that. I'm afraid to tell her and ruin everything.

[Vagi]

Still Its okay to be hurt rather than longing for her love...

[ThEa]

cheers to those we love deeply and secretly

[Lobos]

It's true, sometimes love is silent and deep. But even in secret, it still holds great meaning. Thank you for sharing your feelings.

[ThEa]

Yes, love in secret holds a great meaning it even creates people like poets and amazing romantic authors...

I just finished your story, and I have to say, it really touched me! The way you describe feelings for her as a “secret garden” is such a beautiful metaphor—so vivid and relatable. I can feel the heart race and the sleepless nights just thinking about her. It perfectly captures that intoxicating mix of excitement and fear we all know too well.
Thanks for sharing this heartfelt piece; it’s a lovely exploration of unspoken love that many can relate to. I can’t wait to see where you take this story next!

Warm Regards

Thank you so much for your heartfelt response, Elnnes! I'm really glad the story resonated with you. The 'secret garden' metaphor reflects those complex emotions we all experience, and it means a lot to hear that it connected with you. I appreciate your support, and whether I continue this story depends on whether I have the courage to say this to her.

Warm regards

I truly believe that sharing those emotions can lead to something beautiful, and I’d hate for you to miss the moment that could change everything. Sometimes, the risks we’re afraid to take are the very ones that allow us to connect deeply with others. You never know what magic could unfold if you take that leap. Remember, it’s often the chances we don’t take that leave us with the deepest regrets.

Warmest regards,

What wonderful advice, I will make an effort to win her over. Even if it doesn't work out, at least I will have tried. Thank you, Elnnes.

Warmest regards,

Yes absolutely and when it cant be returned is when love feels it's cruelest, Good writing, thank you for sharing.

[Lobos]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind words. It's true that unreturned love can feel particularly harsh

[Tumi]

Wow so much emotional word
I once did but at least it didn't ruin our friendship, your work
was well relatable, capturing the depth of feelings

[Lobos]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad that my words resonated with you. It's great to hear that your experience didn’t harm the friendship — those connections are so valuable. I appreciate your kind feedback, it means a lot!

This is good writing... even I think of lines like this sometimes " our laughs echoes same, our sorrows dim and tame"... "our loudest days, are melodious days"...
our friendly nature will be exposed at best only to a few or one can even count, one can say...
It's your choice to stay pretended or daring...
Turning to lover side, will never ever bring that old friendship days, though it will be quite interesting at first eventually you will miss your old self(you can't reverse once you tel it all to her)...

And one more thing friends are for best, that be trusted even in night drive , or one can missing father or brother figure in them which gives a secure feel or family like feel or that the one friend who just says "Anything on me 😅"

[Lobos]

I'm glad to hear this. I like her a lot, and I've never felt this way about anyone else. But I'm a bit lost right now, not sure if I should tell her or just leave things as they are

[Jeyanthi]

Some piece of my mind and from experience :
If you are below twenty " God give us heart, but definitely brain too."

If you are more mature means here" when your mind, brain, heart, soul, feels, emotions are in syn take a decision- decision which gives you change, change is inevitable, change is permanent and you will be in change and you can't change that."

You can't see desitation with foggy eyes. Cloud can't rain without wind and other cloud, atleast I think so...

Hope you got something, even if not.... you will get something to write on 😅

[Lobos]

Thank you for the words! There's always something to take from reflections like this!
