I am the one you will never know,

I am the shadow lost in caves,
Questioned for my existence,
But barely explored,
Let go, to be lost in sight and dark.

I am the raindrop,
Never an ocean's thirst,
Yet daring to touch you by your cheek
With all emotions but hardly any story.

I am the star you never choose to see,
In darker nights looking for the moon to shine down.
I silently long to be a light to your windows
When day meets gloom.

I am the flower, fading in your mind,
Plucked on occasions when graves are dug,
Yet in your thoughts and garden, I bloom,
Amidst the rainstorm and sunshine.

I am not the brush that paints your smile bright,
But rather, a tissue that gently dries
Each tear that threatens to dim your light.

I am a gentle breath that often gets lost in the air,
Yet in stillness, you may find me there,
Much like a whispered echo of a forgotten song.

I am the memory that silently fades,
In corridors of your mind's own attic,
But with every passing second, I gently reside,
In every pause of ticking time.

I am the silence of the night,
As gentle whispers of breeze,
Secretly murmured out of sight
And lost in the rustle of trees.

I am the shadow, the raindrop, the star,
The flower, the tissue, the whisper you lost,
Hidden deep down, yet not far away,
As a silent presence, you will never truly know.
