Listening to your voice Every single time I hear it. Looking in your eyes Every time They're close. Trying to forget That you will never feel it. Wishing you would love me Like no one else.

Lauray's "Yearn for your love" is a short poem about wanting someone who doesn't want you in return. The speaker lists small moments: hearing the person's voice, looking into their eyes when they are close. Each one seems to bring a flicker of joy and, right alongside it, a sting. The repeated "every time" makes these moments feel like a habit the speaker can't break, as if the longing returns whenever the person appears.

The turn comes near the end. The speaker admits to "trying to forget" that the other person "will never feel it." That line suggests the love is one-sided, and the speaker knows it, yet keeps hoping anyway. The final line, wishing to be loved "like no one else," is a quiet, almost childlike plea. The mood is tender, wistful and a little painful. Nothing dramatic happens. The poem simply lets us sit inside a private ache, and its plain, simple wording makes that ache feel honest and easy to recognize.

#Lost myself

I gave you everything. First my happiness. Then my heart. Last my soul.

#The mirror

A tear is rolling down her face. Her eyes full with feelings. Love and sadness. She got a broken heart.

#Waiting

Waiting all day long to see you. To hear your voice. To touch your skin. But what are you doing?
