There’s something I’ve carried for years.7Please respect copyright.PENANANvpherGzNy
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.7Please respect copyright.PENANA2H8LY7bbTm
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.7Please respect copyright.PENANAUDHidrmFpo
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…7Please respect copyright.PENANA8TQZD8Y1Uc
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.7Please respect copyright.PENANACxrsA3y9TV
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.7Please respect copyright.PENANAkvY7UUINJD
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.7Please respect copyright.PENANAR2hA7Wvguo
In the spaces between your words.7Please respect copyright.PENANATpYA59pTdK
In the silence after your voice.7Please respect copyright.PENANAWp5DirkYls
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.7Please respect copyright.PENANA6HoqS5L9lT
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.7Please respect copyright.PENANAyeBAqpXfP1
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…7Please respect copyright.PENANAF04UkpGX7T
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.7Please respect copyright.PENANAkktJ00dehe
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.7Please respect copyright.PENANAuhnhKfAQjO
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.7Please respect copyright.PENANAQWBMW4cGJO
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.7Please respect copyright.PENANAji3uxo5gDY
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.7Please respect copyright.PENANAODY8J8JK3l
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.7Please respect copyright.PENANAc6qx9vTC2U
Your laughter that came after anger.7Please respect copyright.PENANAyFLzuFHd8m
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.7Please respect copyright.PENANA0634VxDlLe
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…7Please respect copyright.PENANAV0Ydelf8fA
That baby crying, and the words:7Please respect copyright.PENANA1sk5UzOvq5
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —7Please respect copyright.PENANA7sJNbuPMPM
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…7Please respect copyright.PENANAdKQB5xQRJP
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.7Please respect copyright.PENANAVfEuNWkG6w
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.7Please respect copyright.PENANAwvIacBpG9G
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.7Please respect copyright.PENANAt0AlAyw1d0
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.7Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y1Ea7dWY6
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…7Please respect copyright.PENANAMkevKynQOi
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.7Please respect copyright.PENANAb8vjrVnLv5
Every day.7Please respect copyright.PENANAFhi2QnM6RV
Like everything is fine.7Please respect copyright.PENANAel6S3GTtQx
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.7Please respect copyright.PENANAlnw8t4ZsDf
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.7Please respect copyright.PENANA8m9nRqECJM
Because I will never tell you.7Please respect copyright.PENANAQejV5oJqwS
Not because I’m afraid —7Please respect copyright.PENANAAKjfhYaKz7
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.7Please respect copyright.PENANA7ALns36PF4
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.7Please respect copyright.PENANAGpScclVE4c
That your heart is always full.7Please respect copyright.PENANAEW6lfPEBpa
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.7Please respect copyright.PENANA5nX1jDu286
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…7Please respect copyright.PENANAki9MT0lvB1
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.7Please respect copyright.PENANAQEHvzTjqia
But as the heart that broke —7Please respect copyright.PENANAWd96nMYIdd
And still kept loving.
Always,7Please respect copyright.PENANA1PqISTejHJ
your friend...................7Please respect copyright.PENANAuHOO1yycq0
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
