The story began when you said hello on our first day of college.
I don't remember how we became friends or how it turned into something more.
You had someone from the start,
but my feelings for you deepened every day.
We'd watch our favorite movie, and you'd call him mid-scene, your face lighting up with that smile.
I felt jealousy tighten in my chest because I longed to see that side of you.
When I decided to move on, you treated me so well, and I became afraid that my feelings would reignite.
So, I tried to avoid you, telling myself I wasn't upset.
But deep down,
I knew it still hurt so much.
I fell to the ground one day, someone asked, "if it hurt a lot"?
I whispered,
"not as much as loving someone who loves someone else."
