Theme: Love, rejection
Synopsis: A woman falling in love with someone who was gay. Even though the man's heart was for someone else, she still loved him—hoping that he would love her back.
--
As soon as I told him my feelings, I knew I made a huge mistake.
I met a guy who turned out to be my first love. I didn't know if he'd return my feelings, but I do know that I needed to tell him how I felt. "He's answer won't affect me," that was what I usually tell myself but... this wasn't what I was expecting.
We started as best friends. We met at the village's local park, which became our signature spot for meetings. Our friendship continued for 7 meaningful years, but I knew it had to end in some way.
Eventually, I came to the part where I got the desire to tell him how I felt. I wanted to end our friendship and continue as lovers. Of course, not all my desires could be filled. I knew our friendship was at its limit but...I wanted more—I wanted more that could satisfy my heart.
"You will never know unless you try," I told myself to give me at least some motivation to confess to him.
After clearing my thoughts, I finally stood up to tell him how I felt about him. As I was going to the park, something stopped me... something that shattered my entire being. I saw him kissing someone—no other than my brother. They were kissing there—getting all romantic, while I was just at the corner, crying.
His interest was in men... what chance did I have?
I already knew that this would be the outcome but... I just couldn't accept it. I couldn't accept the fact that he fell for someone else. How dare he love someone else other than me. I thought we were already something... I guess all the time we've spent was just nothing.
But...I still love you.
No matter how many times you hurt me, I would still love you.
I would love you always and forever.
