Nausha Ameen's "eternal wish" is a short poem about loving someone who doesn't seem to see you. The speaker compares the loved one to the sun and themselves to a planet, held in orbit around them. It's a neat image: a planet can't help but circle its sun, and the speaker seems just as drawn in, unable to look away or drift off.

The feeling here is quiet longing. "Year after year" suggests this isn't a passing crush but something patient and long-lasting, maybe even a little weary. The speaker doesn't ask for love in return, only to be "noticed," which makes the wish feel small and humble, yet also painful. The last line calls this wish "eternal," so the waiting itself seems to become part of the speaker's identity. The mood is gentle, wistful and a bit sad, with a thread of devotion running through it. The simple language makes the longing feel honest rather than dramatic.

There are some faces Wearing the same smile Walking under the same blue sky Waiting for their own sunshine
