For you, your reflection is just as normal as it is. A girl with long hair curled into bun with pins. For him, you’re the girl straight out of his dreams. And you have no idea about it, there were no hints.
That’s why when your best friend said “I love you,” Words didn’t leave your mouth, a giggle did. It wasn’t silly, you just didn’t know what to do. No one had tried to ask you out, but he did.
It took him many years to confess. It took you few months to process. That you don’t look at him the same anymore. No longer a best friend, it’s now something more.
You see him in the dark, you hear his hearty laugh. You feel his presence, you love the air with his essence. And you’re scared to try, to risk it all, and to fly. You’re thinking “I might lose him.” You let out a sigh.
But it’s a stab in the heart, to let him go out of fear. Of not seeing the future without him being near. So do the thing you know best for both of you. He’s your best friend after all, always the best for you.
