He never liked me,
not a glance,
not a smile,
just shadows of indifference
in the corners of crowded rooms.
We shared the same halls,
the same laughter echoing,
but his was a laughter
that broke around me,
a soft sound like wind
passing through leaves.
I waited for a word,
a sign, a signal,
but my heart learned stillness
beneath the weight of silence—
the kind that fills years,
leaving a hollow echo.
I watched him from a distance,
blending with friends,
light slipping through their easy smiles,
while I stood far off,
the wallflower soaking in the colors
of a world that chose not to see me.
