You came into my life
Quietly, simply, placidly
And my words stood still. . .
I couldn't express in words
Or even in simple gestures
The secret I kept in my heart.
So I loved in silence,
Admired you from a distance,
Dreamt of you from afar.
I wanted to say I love you. . .
I wanted to say I care.
But cowardly, maybe, you'l only laugh at me.
In silence then I will love you. . .
In silence then I will care. . .
