Never have I ever gone far with feelings as I did with what I felt for you. I simply thought it was just a case of teenage desperation, or a trend.
Lots of girls my age were looking so hard for someone to love them, to treat them like a queen, to cherish them. I didn't want that.
Not that I was trying to be a so-called pick-me girl.. or display that catchphrase "I'm not like other girls."
I was just not ready to settle for a relationship when I've been building a whole character for myself just so I could look at myself in the mirror and realize that what I have is enough.
Then the next week arrived, I wasn't able to hold myself back and showed obvious signs to you.. but you didn't notice. Until I sent you that certain Tiktok video, and that day became the day our feelings became officially mutual.
I was happy with it, and you were too. We treated each other at school like we usually did.. yet there were hidden glances and smiles. Your comforting presence was enough to make me feel better every day.
The longer I spent time with you, the longer I realized how much worth you have. You showed me that negative emotions are okay, you were there with me until the sun began to rise again, you were there when no one else was.
Nothing seems to make sense when I see you, it's like those butterflies flew from my stomach to my brain.
