Secret love refers to the circumstance in which one has strong affections for someone but the person who is the focus of that affection is unaware of these emotions.
It’s a quiet inner conflict in which the heart yearns but words and feelings go unheard.
It’s as if one is secretly carrying a hidden treasure box filled with sentiments of adoration, desire and admiration in the depths of one’s heart.
This covert type of love is often motivated by fear—fear of rejection, fear of jeopardizing an existing connection, or dread of the uncertainty that comes with disclosure.
It is often a decision made to protect the happiness of the one you love, particularly when circumstances seem to be adverse.
In essence, secret love is a complicated, emotional journey, sometimes bittersweet, in which one feels the exhilaration of love while battling with the agony of concealment.
