In whispers soft, a secret blooms, A year has passed in fleeting rooms. For Ally, bright with joy and grace, A hidden love finds its own space. Eyes that watch in twilight's glow, A spark ignites, yet none may know. Chilled red wine in sunset's hue, A toast to dreams and skies of blue. Each gluten-free morsel shared in thought, Connection in flavors love has sought. While pilates stretch the morning light, And running courses the heart's delight. Yet here am I, an unseen shade, With words unsaid and love delayed. O, Ally, in your path I tread, In hope the heart's veil might be shed.
