There’s something I’ve carried for years.567Please respect copyright.PENANAuMGlvt1JOL
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.567Please respect copyright.PENANAq1a4QXzfEj
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.567Please respect copyright.PENANABefVfPacKW
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…567Please respect copyright.PENANALdZUKIux0Z
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.567Please respect copyright.PENANAM5p16UtnqC
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.567Please respect copyright.PENANAuuRuA0I9Z4
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.567Please respect copyright.PENANAThOd9BdGEG
In the spaces between your words.567Please respect copyright.PENANAqsGuqF5Tjn
In the silence after your voice.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZtMYUFyDUk
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.567Please respect copyright.PENANAaAo4o4Igv3
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.567Please respect copyright.PENANALjoul09qha
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…567Please respect copyright.PENANAW1PkuGCLOV
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.567Please respect copyright.PENANAuVtromOzFM
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.567Please respect copyright.PENANAD2ljze6OQJ
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.567Please respect copyright.PENANA5auTCe6Jkk
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.567Please respect copyright.PENANA84qN4GlUXP
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.567Please respect copyright.PENANAH8kXkfZOPm
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.567Please respect copyright.PENANAZux3KVZWl7
Your laughter that came after anger.567Please respect copyright.PENANA3XpgDJD1SV
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.567Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5zY5Xeka
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…567Please respect copyright.PENANAjxY5OnISH2
That baby crying, and the words:567Please respect copyright.PENANAJLVycqp1ka
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —567Please respect copyright.PENANAH6AchXURTt
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…567Please respect copyright.PENANARlHRRvwKb8
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.567Please respect copyright.PENANAIXmUgKUV0k
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.567Please respect copyright.PENANA1kTpNtwZwU
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.567Please respect copyright.PENANAVIr364cgrP
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.567Please respect copyright.PENANAx5yAlZqaoC
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…567Please respect copyright.PENANAGGlM4wscZK
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.567Please respect copyright.PENANAJjTWDjvqzs
Every day.567Please respect copyright.PENANAyEIovPEt1h
Like everything is fine.567Please respect copyright.PENANAgYV4YT9IoJ
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.567Please respect copyright.PENANAb7xNDpvMQ6
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.567Please respect copyright.PENANA3dBneWM4ye
Because I will never tell you.567Please respect copyright.PENANArQ8uGCmlMH
Not because I’m afraid —567Please respect copyright.PENANArzsXe2GjVW
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.567Please respect copyright.PENANA3mFeP2O0Q1
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.567Please respect copyright.PENANAVqZBxxlY9H
That your heart is always full.567Please respect copyright.PENANAAEdgXR23MZ
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.567Please respect copyright.PENANAJU0OXdB2P7
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…567Please respect copyright.PENANAWCZFVxgrHr
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.567Please respect copyright.PENANAq6c21mQUoX
But as the heart that broke —567Please respect copyright.PENANAaWN2x5Es3a
And still kept loving.
Always,567Please respect copyright.PENANACVxxmBxZPA
your friend...................567Please respect copyright.PENANA4K72plOYWB
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
