There’s something I’ve carried for years.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hMWEV2PuE
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.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePgl0c1Cji
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcahgQ4kveo
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnZVBTndFk
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3xXnqyzED
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjqHIDRvrt
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarV3MUKxzf
In the spaces between your words.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyfTz0Ppur
In the silence after your voice.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeNBkT05zm
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAwpHleF4f
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfgXeYp3K
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn51X14xLYf
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6thB1cnlW
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUPQeADbA8
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuSwZuMDGr
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaSfsBvmud
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V7ihfgc63
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHH6gmkcCx
Your laughter that came after anger.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7iMgVkMXb
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fS9n6BKS
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…57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOaKzfDvqI
That baby crying, and the words:57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D5cMQM59F
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ViHZ0YaLk
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qpnMlI8mS
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNKe1cJJOB
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcQ6GIvjim
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghLfY2Ru15
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp3uaGFMu7
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUCmfkwYyE
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4yhyroPet
Every day.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnsnxJQ8Hp
Like everything is fine.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdVbaCShpA
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LraMGr0Y5
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6wCOitnOq
Because I will never tell you.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VI1z3rPQp
Not because I’m afraid —57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlveSmdmKs
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.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJJRikmyv9
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.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKgfiH0Z5h
That your heart is always full.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67puswxGCk
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eAsAtnr8U
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffp2MMtnFJ
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzqGFtD8ic
But as the heart that broke —57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qXr1t1gtQ
And still kept loving.
Always,57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Bppbogu3
your friend...................57Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRENcGYqeF
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
