Dear You Who Were Always There,
#InvisibleSupport #FriendZonedSoul #AlwaysTheSecondChoice
You were the dependable one.53Please respect copyright.PENANAzUmKozU4bO
The one who never forgot birthdays,53Please respect copyright.PENANAMAMFUWKskz
who stayed up late to listen,53Please respect copyright.PENANAvS8MFoFoAt
who clapped the loudest at every victory—53Please respect copyright.PENANAZaM7Yr0IqO
even when no one clapped for you.
You were the seat left open at the table,53Please respect copyright.PENANAT9mtwwadGc
but never the reason the table was set.
You gave your loyalty freely,53Please respect copyright.PENANA7iTr2UTMYi
showed up with your whole heart,53Please respect copyright.PENANAis1VUka6vV
hoped—quietly, endlessly—53Please respect copyright.PENANAzBOdNKW0qq
that this time, they would choose you.
But somehow, you were always background.53Please respect copyright.PENANAH9Obg8WaZU
Always the friend.53Please respect copyright.PENANAGd40qP2zJn
Always "thank you for being there,"53Please respect copyright.PENANAb4R1asAS4L
but never "I couldn't do this without you."53Please respect copyright.PENANAxiktu6VlMR
Never the first call,53Please respect copyright.PENANA35FIUyY73N
never the favorite.
And the worst part?53Please respect copyright.PENANA6DD9bcGIsK
You kept showing up anyway.53Please respect copyright.PENANA7OcjipHwCO
Kept believing that maybe love is earned53Please respect copyright.PENANAAThs6TO8CE
if you just care enough,53Please respect copyright.PENANATDs6DjzmOG
try enough,53Please respect copyright.PENANASOen6BDtBj
give enough.
You accepted crumbs and convinced yourself they were meals.53Please respect copyright.PENANAa0qBXvAcXt
You celebrated others' happiness53Please respect copyright.PENANACHElouuEKK
even when it meant swallowing your own pain.53Please respect copyright.PENANAvcPu1ZnvZw
You watched them choose someone else53Please respect copyright.PENANAwyskVcLgOU
again and again,53Please respect copyright.PENANAuphl7bLhQ7
and still smiled for them through the ache.
But here's what I need you to know:
Your worth was never measured by who chose you.53Please respect copyright.PENANA8PknN5RuyA
It was always there—53Please respect copyright.PENANAf7fCXp1ReP
in the way you stayed kind,53Please respect copyright.PENANAvaCc4c3BUN
in the way you gave without expecting,53Please respect copyright.PENANAE2kksAzSL3
in the way you held space for others53Please respect copyright.PENANAf4feRXXAvp
even when no one held space for you.
You were not invisible.53Please respect copyright.PENANABNgm8r7LqR
They just didn't know how to see you.
You deserved to be someone's first thought.53Please respect copyright.PENANAUeHhuPqoue
You still do.
You don't have to prove you're lovable53Please respect copyright.PENANADsGNYOr9SE
by being the one who never leaves.
Let this be the last time you wait on the doorstep of someone else's priority list.
It's time you choose you.
With gratitude for the quiet strength you didn't know was rare,53Please respect copyright.PENANAqCixJkvq6U
—From the one who finally sees your light
