There’s something I’ve carried for years.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NGza8L8Wg
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFaNh3gOGj
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwakrOX1ZR6
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3W02q1ZjI
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8VBnoWtgN
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H12yDPiyM
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliJAxM9GtP
In the spaces between your words.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMApL2gq7l
In the silence after your voice.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFx9ngbX0c
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6MyaTWTDi
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoefJ0i2knI
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAFabJesCO
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGom8jr3uKX
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveOuUXnkwb
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9qGRVhGHO
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoTypnssSo
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vBBC0Gvlb
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hfKCFmQXJ
Your laughter that came after anger.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhkgOwvHWQ
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYTHjRufyy
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…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7TLAnrVGY
That baby crying, and the words:35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH0HHLTrOB
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmqZGP8Ie
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrd68QZHxE
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOHPmVaQiV
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2NoQFWTa3
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjToUK7xMJG
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cr4xpPS2B
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBqC3KLO1q
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YQzZyV1FD
Every day.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFQ5fhVS5P
Like everything is fine.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGuXFDc3Bu
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyLHAV1ceR
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3aTFahq4S
Because I will never tell you.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUYUChhhj8
Not because I’m afraid —35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagDmCm2cbZ
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEz5Rj2awo
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.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSPn3kPxTt
That your heart is always full.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wtn51AnUa
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiNmw5E16z
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpwMo1gDKy
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiX58XO8V6
But as the heart that broke —35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP73N0VgWw5
And still kept loving.
Always,35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvRqd0iZe1
your friend...................35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ6smcmhqD
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
