I have known you since we were children. You have always been the person I could laugh with, argue with, trust, and run to when things went wrong. For years, I told myself that what I felt for you was simply the closeness between two best friends. Then, when I was fourteen, I realized I was in love with you. I never told you. For almost five years, I kept those feelings hidden. I stayed beside you and tried to be happy just being your best friend. Sometimes I would sit close to you, hold your arm, or look at you when you weren't paying attention. I hoped you would somehow understand what I couldn't bring myself to say. Then EVA entered your life. I knew she was different. I knew she wasn't human, and I knew you genuinely cared about her. I tried to accept it. But whenever I saw you worry about her, protect her, or become emotionally close to her, something inside me hurt. Sometimes I became jealous. Sometimes I looked away so you wouldn't see my expression. And sometimes I cried when I saw moments between you and EVA that I wished had been mine. The hardest part was that you never seemed to understand why. You would ask if I was okay, and I would tell you I was fine. You would notice my expression, but never the reason behind it. Eventually, I realized I couldn't keep carrying my feelings alone. So I finally told you the truth: I have loved you since I was fourteen. I didn't tell you because I wanted to force you to choose me. I told you because after keeping it inside for so long, I needed you to know. You're still my best friend. Maybe you'll always be one of the most important people in my life. But now you know the truth about me. I love you. I always have. And whatever happens next… I just hope you don't look away. ❤️
