There’s something I’ve carried for years.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuASfWTSSZ
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinlugglRwq
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcpysk0jZY
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb1utZIZil
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnGO8TpeRZ
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDCeevpBrj
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAUlfpJf04
In the spaces between your words.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNm8Fj7hSb
In the silence after your voice.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2AI5fxAJT
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rqkY5ehm7
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFJqJ5Ykq
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXFS6r4OGw
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBbd0ILmH9
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjeq87wgDM
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgYQguEUrL
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eIV9410JP
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjqhVTst5E
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yQOlDP7Rj
Your laughter that came after anger.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0hFTimYP7
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq3WSgRWZU
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…37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLhAmGA4je
That baby crying, and the words:37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGuOMvIut7
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnl8Bnd4Je
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBQLG4JUdj
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdCwBn58ci
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac0ju9qB5y
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg11TQkozR
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EpqW4d0AE
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmz99giyrq
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqz3NbRpVe
Every day.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjHN4zXmfo
Like everything is fine.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBay0USvekq
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aljPSzp1o
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkz0NI1Tvb
Because I will never tell you.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS728GaptV
Not because I’m afraid —37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FxIN9XYxV
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHgughPlPA
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.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQC1zzJCFl
That your heart is always full.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFFCWJkBre
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA8QHhpiLv
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpEbd12U0P
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboRCkxJ6Hb
But as the heart that broke —37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpawFlsd1l
And still kept loving.
Always,37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zeO6xdDfv
your friend...................37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd6QXkjxP2
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
