To The Guy I Liked But Didn't Like Me Back

An anonymous submission

𝓓𝓮𝓪𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓖𝓾𝔂,

I don’t know how to start this long message for you. Will I say “Hi?” or will you like knowing that I once had feelings for you? I’m not sure. I’m not even sure if you can read this, or if you ever will?

Will you even know that I had feelings for you and that I had to let it go because I didn't want to ruin the friendship I had with you?

Will you ever forgive me for liking you? I know, I know. I don’t even stand a chance with those beautiful girls you have your eyes on. Because I am just me. I was okay with keeping this secret before, but maybe it’s time for the world to know.

That once upon a time, I liked a guy like you. Why did I fall for you if you may ask? I’m not entirely sure...

Is it because of your smile? Because you have one precious smile that any girl can fall for.

Is it because of your eyes? How I see them twinkle every time you had a chance to talk about yourself.

Is it because of your words? That makes my heart skip a beat, even though for you it’s just a joke.

Did I like you for who you are? Maybe I did. Maybe I didn't.

I sometimes dreamt of a time when you would reciprocate this love of mine, but every time I opened my eyes, I woke up to a reality that, in this life you will never be mine.

I just want you to know that you were an inspiration for me. You were one of those people I looked forward to when going to school. Because I could see you, I could see you laughing with your friends in the corridor. I could see you enjoying everything that you love.

I could also see you having eyes for that girl you love.. And all I could do was just hide the pain of seeing you being happy with her.

I’m writing this down because I know that this is the last time I'll be talking about you.

𝐼'𝓂 𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝓁𝑒𝓉𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝑔𝑜.

𝐼'𝓂 𝓃𝑜𝓌 𝓈𝑒𝓉𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝑒.

Because all I am to you... is a friend.

To the guy I liked but didn’t like me back...

Thank you for making me experience what having someone to love feels like, and I have no regrets for falling in love with you.

𝓐𝓵𝔀𝓪𝔂𝓼,

𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝑔𝒾𝓇𝓁

Nagmahal o nagka-gusto ka na rin ba sa taong kahit kailan ay hindi magiging sa'yo?
