How... how did this happen?
I thought we loved each other...
Turns out—it was me who was in love all along.
It started at high school. I was an upperclassman and she was a freshman. I fell in love the first time I saw her. I went up to her to talk, and before I knew it, we were already friends—of course, it stayed like that. Years passed, yet we were still friends... we were nothing more than friends. Well, I was already thankful for our friendship... but I thought something was missing—something... something in my heart... did she feel something too? That weird chills that could bring your heart pounding... or was it just me who felt that?
I still remembered the time she came to me. She was panicking saying she liked some guy. Hearing that from her broke my heart. But as her friend, I gotta be happy for her—even if it hurt.
Day by day, her romantic excitement continued. Why was she always talking about him and not me? I didn't know how I would keep up with this anymore... Should I be happy for her?
…
After some time, I couldn't take it anymore... I confessed to her. I told her I didn't need an answer—I just wanted to get it out of myself. After that time, we never talked again. It was like... we were strangers to each other again.
But…
Even though I knew you weren't interested in me, I will never give up. Someday, I would make you mine—just you wait... nothing in this world could be greater than my love for you.
