I never thought you’d matter so much, but one day you became my everything. I imagined keeping you close, even when it was just a dream. I cherished you from the moment I heard your voice, but then you were gone. When I finally understood my feelings, you had already slipped away. I still love you. I miss your words, your check-ins, the way you cared. Now we’re just friends, and you said “I love you” over text, afraid to say it to my face. My mind says no, but my heart never stopped saying yes. I’m caught between expectations and reputation, between pressure and fear. I’m scared to try again, scared to hurt you, scared to read our story knowing how it ends. But I need you to know— I love you, and you’ll always have a place in my heart, whether as a friend, a fan, or something more. You’ll always be with me, in every heartbeat, forever.
