If someone asks me to explain in a short sentence how we began, this is what I will answer:
You fell in love. I didn't.
I had never thought of you as something more. Although you've been by my side since seasons ago, my 'us' had a different meaning than yours.
Waiting is not an easy thing to do. Till now, I can't fully comprehend how you could stay for so long without giving up. It must have been tiring.
The day you told me what you've been hiding all along, I stared at your face for a whole minute. I was waiting for you to say that you weren't being serious, but you just returned my stare with a smile that I hated so much.
I hated it. I didn't want to see it being replaced by a frown because of my reply.
You meant a lot to me. You still do.
But I wasn't sure what you meant to me.
If someone asks me to explain in a short sentence how are we faring now, this is what I will answer:
You fell in love. I'm falling in love.
—For you, who is one of the strongest people I know
