Jared, I thought you were my best friend, though you were, you could be so much more. I adored the dimples when you smiled and the light in your eyes when you laughed. You looked at me adoringly. At first, I was unaware of how romantically I felt toward you.
I denied it as long as I could. I kept telling myself "him sending me love songs means nothing" or "oh calling me beautiful and sexy is just a compliment." This lasted until Charles proposed to me. Jared, you became a different person. You told me over and over not to marry him. You would say "Lily, please dont do this. I know you won't be happy, please don't marry him."
You knew what I needed without me having to say. You came closer in crowds when I needed comfort. You could hear the pain in my voice and see the panic in my eyes. It was okay that sometimes I couldn't find the words because with you, we didn't need them.
I felt the emotions in your eyes. I saw the love. You did love me and just like always, I didn't need words to know that. I couldn't walk out on Charles, you know. But I saw the pain and awe in your eyes the day I got married. That day marked our relationship forever.
