Day 1
The first time we met was at a coffee shop. Cliche right? We were strangers back then until you approached me. We talk for a while and soon became friends.

Day 2
We started to hangout more. Going to places, eating together like we knew each other years ago. Weeks later, we became best friends and shared most of our secrets together.

Day 28
I began to grow feelings for you but I didn't want to ruin our friendship. You told me that you liked this guy that you just met and I was heartbroken.

Day 49
You became friends with that other guy and you soon confessed to him. You told me how he accepted you and how you started dating him, but you probably didn't know how broken I was inside.

Day 71
You told me that I should start dating, but I told you that there was only one girl in my mind. You begged me to tell you but I refused because it would only affect our friendship even more. If only you knew how I felt then.

Day 87
That was the day you started to come running to me, crying and it was also the day of your first heartbreak. You told me how he cheated on you with his best friend and how he broke up with you on your birthday. At that moment I felt relieved but I knew that you still care for him.

Day 137
It was my birthday that day and we decided to spend some time together in an amusement park. I asked why did you take me there and of course I was friend zoned. Whenever I hear you laugh, my heart races faster and faster, it may sound cheesy but I'm just stating the truth.

Day 189
It was the anniversary of your parents death. You were crying in front of their graves as I accompanied you. I never saw you this way before. When you cried, I felt like crying as well, it hurts to see when you place a fake smile across your face.

Day 214
You came back to me bragging about your new boyfriend and lecturing me about how I should get a girlfriend before I grow old. My bottle of feelings tightened more and in other words, I'm slowly killing myself.

Day 258
It's nearly a year since our friendship. It wasn't so long ago that we met but I felt like we knew each other for at least 3 years already.

Day 286
That day my parents started fighting again and planned to divorce. I asked if I could stay at your house for the night and you agreed. The night really wasn't as awkward as I thought, having a guy and girl sleeping over.

Day 301
My mother and father got divorced that day. They told me to live by myself as they both are busy with their work. I worked part time in a restaurant but I never had a full time job before. You offered me help but I declined it knowing that I would only be a burden to you.

Day 337
Your boyfriend broke up with you again. I don't understand why they would break up with you as you are smart, pretty, kind, creative and so much more. This time you didn't cry, but I could tell by your eyes that you were hurt.

Day 365
It was our first anniversary as friends. I never did plan to confess but I guess it just came out. You might not know but when you said yes, it felt as if heaven was on my side even if it was just for a second.

Day 372
We went on our first date that day. You promised me that we would grow old together and always be there for each other. Back then I smiled like an idiot.

Day 408
We were going to celebrate our first monthsary, until I realised you were late. I tried to call you but you wouldn't answer so I began to look for you. 30 minutes past until I found you...well at least your body. You were laying down on the ground while people crowded around you. I pushed my way to see you, your body was lifeless. The driver go put of his car and apologised to me but I went closer to him. I was about to punch him until two people from the crowd held me back as I start to cry. Soon the ambulance came and got you, but they refused to let me in.

Day 414
We had a funeral for you, but it was a small one. There weren't much people to invite as most of your relatives had also died. Most of the people who attended were your friends.

[Present time]
As I'm standing in front of your grave right now, I began to realise...

You never did keep your promise to me, Amanda
