There’s something I’ve carried for years.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9Abru1yD
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.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1junOPHLXQ
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUWv9yFjgz
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8YgFTmek
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFHCIreshe
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vpngQcgth
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMGSZ0DYON
In the spaces between your words.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU6QraQUWV
In the silence after your voice.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUnwD2uOqq
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Fm0s3U6T7
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ806IWeNoaj
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozzjeAiyby
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXvF6ID7o0
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUsSu7lQLN
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28dl1yVjx0
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxkcIvWf8Y
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g7HlFOmZa
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4w0c5CC9o
Your laughter that came after anger.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQR49h0XZh
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmYFnKNnnU
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…21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlG1VER8K6
That baby crying, and the words:21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRO1dJgIoD
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F03rNIzRS
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBF7F1b9re
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0rrpNQbmh
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bx1WdiwtJ
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RiCLtS4U
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VMkNkkSXO
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0i1ZGJo1
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbGlnVsaQZ
Every day.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HsdyuIbxN
Like everything is fine.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGOk27xuFW
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfkO1QAg1
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvybUuzAMXb
Because I will never tell you.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x1j55757o
Not because I’m afraid —21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPDYO0N6VJ
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.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn9qdqhgvY
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.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDG3K8y1Wy
That your heart is always full.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTItVppr9G
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhg2hs0Oru
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vxFEQxG1W
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J3AO6QXxx
But as the heart that broke —21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtPoROPKwy
And still kept loving.
Always,21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQvq9xwFN9
your friend...................21Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ5KOTHUXP
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
