There’s something I’ve carried for years.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiY21E5ZGw
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.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc810FWB3V
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDbnVlgRGi
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir3Bk86Lyn
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclpnSpS4M7
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmpWJ0ZsbC
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw1tWFTX1E
In the spaces between your words.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YZlMvX70R
In the silence after your voice.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTh3uuxge
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k0IEPKZsG
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHSaRZPHAE
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ1hmZk3ES
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMiSpb1Z2O
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtbCzVUtlT
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxS3WejCYL
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAhe0Fpq8e
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoXJOiidC5
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9AqwgmwLt
Your laughter that came after anger.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPGVtbUWCR
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ718uHEsn
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…20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj7oCKM3Ix
That baby crying, and the words:20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Ht2lrD6u
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5LwAu9ueh
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN66wjlvRL
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX0S2XR6d4
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssY9B1WTC0
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2oEWdAyCs
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVhQ1uIpXR
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTh7cuCyYk
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxHdEZ4Ly6
Every day.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJHMSOsiEL
Like everything is fine.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TxdA4D91n
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaGQFLCHol
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9pVidGIPT
Because I will never tell you.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCGBOw2ZGx
Not because I’m afraid —20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq7RKIrYQM
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.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfLjBTdGdf
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.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToLe3VRz5R
That your heart is always full.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BpaBalLxf
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxgMj59lto
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWwTu8icsa
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXGkgLg58d
But as the heart that broke —20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7KKRrM1Xe
And still kept loving.
Always,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Hh3kNPlD
your friend...................20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNwRlAZp2R
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
