There’s something I’ve carried for years.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZvlqSFNHr
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.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09vCtjS0l
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbsW3Fmeoi
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYpFPMUK3T
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpXo6tBVIr
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWzRQrHdzp
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzpCyhdnX4
In the spaces between your words.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGPuMiwufj
In the silence after your voice.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GYFa2zIKm
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnpbwbPULY
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtitX6y0gUO
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkr5yDP2Yp
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lz4FqI3lT
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZRgTsqpY9
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltTRsL7Wuf
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyGDwQyeCC
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W5SZa5ffQ
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxEbomVU3I
Your laughter that came after anger.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6MWDfXJR5
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fhsapykJa
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…571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7LyMz1772
That baby crying, and the words:571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix2umDDFZn
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFutSOdemZ
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EKOYQ8ALb
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpi41YRDAA
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCvAGYbUzb
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYto0fQ9oO
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JsJCNbYOK
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQw63mIa6Jj
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgvCECIdRm
Every day.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD5b6LIcBs
Like everything is fine.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40IeRAI5an
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLGMDpFUKE
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7sHyjAFba
Because I will never tell you.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2LD61gjZG
Not because I’m afraid —571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiNxp3pQRJ
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.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZFOZxaHiH
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.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ93K5rMmja
That your heart is always full.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmI9JCCLqi
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W2spS77Lj
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiKtJDWaNT
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvLxcQxrk7
But as the heart that broke —571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVzX9uu1Ci
And still kept loving.
Always,571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn13p4uPZ2
your friend...................571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSllduTm42
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
