There’s something I’ve carried for years.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl30SbvGPMq
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDwUxFlghC
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVfff1RiyV
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9GPRaGiqD
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKMDOHG8ez
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ6bz2n1Xu
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3AtbOPTdU
In the spaces between your words.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaGbJ362zs
In the silence after your voice.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwQKUI7xj2
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXFjjpB7Pn
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxbn6HNn0C
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8jARxNb6j
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdJdwn4flj
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkGKY3RZVY
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXUS0RLAoI
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsioEHr72j
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01K8Lrb5Ic
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ0lJIqpq9
Your laughter that came after anger.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfoBMf0sn0
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74gBfYudKq
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…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONPmBpqRe
That baby crying, and the words:44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmx60FwiNM
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MxKTMXeeu
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlIR48Ra0h
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3TRlw8UqK
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkScVZDk6W
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QQ0Dk0f4I
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9b0SoQRj7
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0ljGQSmsf
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rctRVTdMV
Every day.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB1VI743bl
Like everything is fine.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmdGkWL28t
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFy8BygyHr
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DobGfnJHN
Because I will never tell you.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRNz3IJ0Nj
Not because I’m afraid —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaEBR9yk6U
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6bQSkaW4C
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.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ395fCV6t
That your heart is always full.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cbeCrrCQo
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8e191CwQm1
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2xswnw5N
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDQWzcTWAe
But as the heart that broke —44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxykuCRvwrS
And still kept loving.
Always,44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuhZCkR1UX
your friend...................44Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWDkKPGClv
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
