In this world of role players, I met a friend. He's Psyche. He's my long-time crush a writer and I won't forget the day he approached me. It was my birthday and ninth month as a writer here in RPW. He sent me a private message and just congratulated me, but that made my heart jump crazily. Since that day, we often talk, casually. I told him that I admire him as a writer and he said that I'm also one of those writers who caught his attention. Like wtf, right? Kinilig ako nun siempre. Lol.

Times flies.

I didn't know I'd come this far. I made a lot of pieces. I even published some of my novels. And so do he.

It's my one year here in RPW and he's the first one who greeted me.

He's a friend of mine. A man I just met on the internet but I treated him like a real one, like a real-world friend. Meeting friends whether in the real world or the fake world doesn't matter to me, anyway, as long as he/she's good.

We talked, from a simple 'congratulation' to trashy talks until midnight.

Then, I asked him something.

I asked him kung mananatili pa rin ba s'ya once he knew the whole me—the real me and he suddenly replied 'yes' and added that he'll stay and be a friend no matter what, and that he wouldn't leave me.

A smile then plastered my face. He never failed to gave me butterflies in my tummy.

Yes, I like him, no, I love him, but he doesn't know what I feel. I don't have plans of telling him, anyway for loving him in silence has no rejection. Yeah, I'm afraid of that thing.

After hearing those, I bid my farewell and without even waiting for his reply, I deactivated my account.

After two months and a half, I think, I'm back.

I chat him, but he just seen it and didn't even reply.

I flooded him with a message, saying sorry, and I missed him.

But you know what his reply is?

"I'm busy, I'm sorry, Ms."

That fvcking shocks me! I suddenly felt something warm ooze my eyes.

I even pleaded for his forgiveness for leaving for so long but he didn't replied.

A tear of mine fell.

"I thought you'd stay and would never leave me, Vin."

"You're just there, but why does it seem like I   cannot reach you?"

"I missed you, Vin"

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for leaving so suddenly."

"I love you."

I smiled bitterly.

"You'll be my best friend forever, Vin. I'm sorry and I love you."

"I'm sorry for leaving you alone for so long, I've been hospitalized. I didn't tell you for I don't want you to worry. I'm sorry."

"Yet, I'm still ill, and don't have a chance maybe of living longer anymore for I have a brain tumor and the doctors said that I should be ready for the time, I knew it, tho."

"But whatever happens, please stay safe. I love you. I'm so blessed having and meeting a friend like you."

After sending him those, and officially signing off, I deleted my account—for good.

I won't forget how our paths crossed here in this world of role players.
