There’s something I’ve carried for years.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8od55Mn7tY
Something I never had the courage to say — not even when I sat beside you every single day, not even when your voice was the only comfort I knew.
We were best friends.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb085VQlJm
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYHlMVACbg
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJU95JnCAm
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsDbkuTcxw
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZKRULe6So
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9dX4Eqd4p
In the spaces between your words.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoVLDeMCLg
In the silence after your voice.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzcgpAfAkP
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6dVCmyMHY
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMo8rDg9vf
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V9SqeNVHm
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqYcB1Ulp9
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPIN8lgN1N
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCZZDJbmFj
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkJf5IuIMX
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRnSLQrmED
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FxtNegxLu
Your laughter that came after anger.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5KQupdPK4
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwUhkxWx1Q
The way you chose me, again and again, when others wanted your time — and I thought, just maybe, that meant something.
I remember the night I sent you that video…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2jlnzpHs8
That baby crying, and the words:51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvMynWT4fH
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B24qx6cjP
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1kDXy0NFf
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCxZsGD8hM
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIDk4f1ypb
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ0gy9ioFa
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooK6ux5eic
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseQjuqhDPa
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5uYUqUoDy
Every day.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcmBE37yEr
Like everything is fine.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbYjqPoCnv
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpx7W2fsgW
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY77uMGERJ6
Because I will never tell you.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBJKm5QWfT
Not because I’m afraid —51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UCwzl6b7J
But because I love you too much to ruin the only place I exist in your life.
Maybe Allah never wrote your heart for me.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmQ3hfhTwF
Maybe I was just meant to love you from the edge of your world… and pray for you from a distance.
So I do.
I pray that you are always happy.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DQ7cr38Xh
That your heart is always full.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisVRxsvaoP
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHmiBApt5o
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oLszXbCsy
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDKWfzkxYd
But as the heart that broke —51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIqXy6c4PG
And still kept loving.
Always,51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7h0VUb40A
your friend...................51Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYuSqDwGj4
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
