Replying...
Intro. He took the place of stepfather, but he carried a weight that no one saw. Every day, I lived with an impossible feeling, suffocated by silence and guilt. He loved in secret, knowing that it could never be reciprocated or revealed. For her, he was just presence, care and protection. To himself, he was a man trapped between what he felt and what he should never feel. Thus, I continued to live this silent love, condemned to exist only in the shadow of my heart.
