Unobtrusive love

Unobtrusive love
Beats within me now, and
He should no longer feel disturbed by it

The beat is soft and quiet
Like a child's cry
Like a whispered goodbye

From where he sleeps so peacefully
He won't know I am awake
With this ache in my bones
I miss him, now inconspicuously
So ambiguously that no one can tell
Since they all say to abandon this hope
That flickers like a low-burning flame
That ties everything to his name
That burns assumably, in vain
I let it burn just the same
