There’s something I’ve carried for years.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7p6NSzkZP
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.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5ZNWCu4gJ
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZnD1TCRg2
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq8v2ZWbgM
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBijFzN8KcU
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy8C0KTxvd
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0nHcxmGnH
In the spaces between your words.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MYIyahv38
In the silence after your voice.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh8uUaQfd8
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa4pYLPdzZ
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9S97VgZat
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOcdH8CW4S
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThYcqxx9dA
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSVOljLF2G
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBv2Fv5ojN
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQINO8sg5w
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVL3FRu6h7
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gMp2ST5sW
Your laughter that came after anger.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQADnVF5ST
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk2j4Q4tVd
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…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemx4D6rH9T
That baby crying, and the words:28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYAnh7YP6
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUTzoRasxt
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgh77SHGxsR
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcTnFLmT3u
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZChKCYHrb
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafpHLhv9Dq
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQcn7DyxkJ
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV8se25PHw
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60356Sxsec
Every day.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwMXPpAvP
Like everything is fine.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDByUlbwM6
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuSzSf9P9k
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Aty9uk1SA
Because I will never tell you.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kL2gvs0hG
Not because I’m afraid —28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNRL5NXcDA
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.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ldB7QIsyT
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.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pIVvIc8Uh
That your heart is always full.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeAor01avb
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ox8V0scAi
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbun4I0BpNS
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnowbMkFgJD
But as the heart that broke —28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtODO9UPup
And still kept loving.
Always,28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnySiwa9Iej
your friend...................28Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YkqUGqqBs
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
