There’s something I’ve carried for years.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ1jyEom2M
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.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCaCxE43u5
You let me in, shared your secrets, laughed with me, cried with me, made memories that stretched across years.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRCQxOhLpv
And I held them all like tiny treasures.
But somewhere along the way…50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaS03cGFQT
I fell in love with you.
Not in a loud, dramatic way.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Q9vbvV2vi
Not in a way that ever asked for anything back.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLtE5Hr4mU
I just… loved you.
In the quietest, deepest corners of my soul.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUJSaMgxVa
In the spaces between your words.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxKWAG9yEz
In the silence after your voice.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8KBnqm9pl
In the warmth of every “pagal” you called me.
I listened when you spoke about her — the girl you liked.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXSgWc2ALj
I helped you find the words, plan the replies, understand your feelings.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqrDUpArNs
And with each sentence I gave to help you be closer to her…50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGRXXbZ1HO
I lost a little piece of myself.
Because I wasn’t just your friend.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH52EcAorh
I was the one who stayed up late, not to talk — but to overthink every conversation we had.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAaxEUkcW5
I was the one who replayed your voice in my mind when everything felt heavy.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rBeeBZ4y0
I was the one who watched you choose others — and still smiled, like it didn’t hurt.
But Zuni, it did.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrS6XbODJr
It hurt more than you’ll ever know.
The world saw you as the strong one. The admired one.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8shEBWSLoe
But I saw something softer — something only I got to know.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpisQIhZul
Your laughter that came after anger.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWMHoFrJcx
The way you forgot things but remembered how to make people feel loved.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2zqRkQmhN
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…50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCxdhf9rTi
That baby crying, and the words:50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbfPIXmJr0
“No one ever says they miss me…”
And you replied —50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSTOphHiAS
“Pagal… you are always missed. Always remembered.”
Zuni…50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcww3FCeY20
You didn’t know, but I broke that night.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V1fHtFnj1
Because that was the closest I ever came to hearing what I had waited years to hear.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2SWwaQCCs
And it still wasn’t what I needed.
The truth is, you never knew what I carried inside.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmAYSmP9ao
How every word I said was soaked in feelings I buried.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03txB0Q2yx
How every smile I gave hid the pain of being almost everything to you…50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv05XLCs7yU
But never the one thing I wanted to be.
We still talk.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxupAXvJPv
Every day.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6uBha4iU5
Like everything is fine.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DHGb4RYvf
Like there’s no storm behind the screen.
But every message I send is a love letter written in disguise.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGTcCt9s5Q
Every reply is me pretending that “friend” was ever enough.
And you’ll never know.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m9tviSe9W
Because I will never tell you.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVH7Dfq4jb
Not because I’m afraid —50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1Pg9WGfpM
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.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YQzuLPwKV
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.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRba8QtKxmi
That your heart is always full.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66fpTULMKp
That the person you choose gives you every joy I once dreamed of giving you.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZozfyXANFI
And I pray — selfishly, quietly — that if you ever wonder if someone truly loved you without asking for anything…50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0DfYMT8N
You’ll think of me.
Not as the friend who stayed.50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3F4xzA02C
But as the heart that broke —50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrXpj3nG1
And still kept loving.
Always,50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQLsQ9HhuQ
your friend...................50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlV1Ym65vd
—The girl who never told you. But always meant it.
