My heart was puzzled by the thought of liking you more than a friend.
Will things come to an end if I told you what I really felt about you?
I was confused, so I hesitated.
I thought we were just friends.
I thought you were just my best friend.

But then,
there came the beating of my heart whenever you reached out.
When you were gone for three days before my birthday,
that's when I realized how I truly felt about you.
It's foolish, but I think it's love.
I've never cared about someone as much as I cared about you.

I've never thought of love like this.
I've always been yearning for love,
but when it came,
I got scared.
I was afraid of getting my heart broken .
I was afraid of love because I've always fantasized about it.
Oh, love,
it was more than the romantic movies I've watched nor the books I've read about.

Love wasn't about the person's looks,
status, achievements, wealth or appearance.
It was knowing the soul of someone and accepting it despite his/her imperfections.
Myriae,
I found love within the depths of your bittersweet mind and heart.
