The Heart That Never Meets

“The Heart That Never Meets” is a journey through unspoken love — the kind that lingers quietly in the background, like the moon waiting for the sun.

The Heart That Never Meets

by Amrit

The time I saw you first,
I thought I’d found my world �"
as if the universe itself had paused
to place a star within my reach.

Our eyes still meet each day �" but not us.
You are the moon behind clouds �"
always there, but never mine to touch.
I had no courage to speak �"
and when I did, you had already become a memory.

We both are like the sun and the moon �"
sharing the same sky, but never the same moment.
Two hearts circling, forever apart.

You laugh, you live, unaware of me,
While I drown in silent oceans of ‘what if.’
You were never mine �" not even close,
But you became the song my heart repeats.

In every prayer, I ask for you,
But I think something is missing in that prayer �"
like a candle trying to light the sun.

What did my heart see in you so true,
That it chose pain like a poet chooses ink �"
writing love with wounds that never heal?

I only imagine how happy life would be
if fate had drawn our stars side by side.
But dreams are just glass �"
and I keep bleeding from the pieces.

Still, I wait �"
like a wilted flower waits for spring that never comes.
Till the day I take my last breath,
loving you quietly, like a shadow follows light.

Whenever we meet again �"
in this world or another �"
I will want to be yours.
Forever.

And I hope… when I close my eyes forever,
your face is the last sunset I see.

Sun and the moon sharing the same sky, but never the moment.

Wow, just can't find words to express how I am feeling after reading it.
I keep hearing it again and again in my ears. Just can't appreciate enough!

This poem beautifully captures the ache of unspoken love and missed connections. The metaphors — like the sun and moon or wilted flowers — linger long after reading. A must-read for anyone who has ever loved in silence. 🌌💔
