We've been in a relationship for almost a decade, and now you're asking me how I fell for you? It's a difficult question to answer. So much time has passed, and many of those early memories have faded. But there are some moments I'll never forget. Do you remember your first day of college? You were wearing that red top with white jeans. That's when I first noticed you. I wanted to approach you, to say something—anything—but the chaos of new classes, new faces, and endless preparations made me hesitate. And then, I forgot. Or maybe I convinced myself to forget.
But then came the fresher's party. I wasn't the type to participate in events, so I stayed in the background, watching. And then you stepped onto the stage. My heart raced, and for a moment, time itself seemed to stop. I was so lost in you that I don't even remember how the event ended. I never got the chance to talk to you. You had your own circle of friends, and I didn't fit in. I didn't have a reason to approach you. But just seeing your smile every day was enough for me. It might sound small to you, but for me, it was everything.
As time went on, those feelings started to fade. Life got busy with studies, assignments, and the daily grind. I thought I'd moved on—until the alumni meet. That's when it all came rushing back. But I kept it to myself, burying those emotions deep inside, not realizing how much they were consuming me.
Do you remember the first time I finally worked up the courage to talk to you? I was so nervous, sweating like crazy, just asking for your opinion on my work. But you were kind. You noticed me. I always felt invisible, like no one ever saw me, but you did. That small moment meant the world to me. It was the start of our friendship, but I knew deep down that my feelings for you were more than just friendly. Still, I didn't say anything. I couldn't.
As our friendship grew, I got to know more about, your attitude, your unbreakable personality and even more how you handle any problem. As we shared highs and low together, I saw how you thrived when someone stood by your side holds your hand and say "it's OK I will walk this path with you, trust me its OK" And I realized that I wanted to be that person for you.
I still remember your 19th birthday party. I thought it was the perfect time to tell you how I felt, to confess that I couldn't imagine my life without you. I wanted to say that I didn't just want to be with you for college—I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. But then I saw Raj propose to you, and my heart shattered. I knew I couldn't force you to love me. I couldn't expect you to feel the same way. There were so many emotions swirling inside me that night. I wanted to run to you, to tell you not to go with him, to choose me instead. I wanted to promise you that I'd respect you, care for you, love you like no one else could.
But our friendship held me back and here we are today lost in past.
