Since the first time I saw you, I couldn't keep my eyes away. You walked in the room and instantly lit up the whole place. You stood in front introducing yourself to the class, but I barely heard anything, distracted by your beautiful features. Your ashen grey hair, your soft hazel eyes, and your angelic smile.

My heart started beating loudly when you walked in my direction. Our eyes met and you smiled at your new seat mate. My cheeks heated up and I shyly smiled back. A silence fell between us, just staring and smiling, but I broke the silence by stretching my arm out, introducing myself.

Your name echoed in my head, imbedding itself in my mind so that I would never forget. We talked some more, our personalities aligning; a warmth in my chest igniting. Every day we'd talk, never running out of things to say, never getting bored of each other.

As the year ended, a fear crept in my mind: that you'd forget me as the next year rolls by. My heart didn't waver though because we made a promise to be there for each other until the day we don't open our eyes. We never broke our promise.

I began to unravel the mystery of you, watching you smile, watching you cry, watching you get mad, watching you care for other, watching you grow. Every side of you I discovered made me fall for you more and more. Each day that passed, my heart yearned for you more and more. Each moment I spent with you made me the happiest man alive.

Sometimes roads spilt. Sometimes people get separated. We were one of those people. We went to different universities, we began living different lives. But like I said, we never broke our promise.

I drove to you when you needed me; I'd drive a million miles for you. I was your shoulder to cry on; I'd be a tissue for you. I helped you with your studies; I write a million words for you. I was always there for you, even if we were hours away from each other. I never once regretted anything I did just to see that smile again.

When I became and adult, I decided to move near you despite the consequences. My heart couldn't bear the distance between us anymore. I accepted the consequences of my actions, falling into a dark spiral. I lost my family, I lost my home, I lost my job, but I never lost you.

No matter what happened, you were there. You were there for me. You were the light that pulled me out of the infinite darkness. You were the light that gave my heart warmth for it to beat again. You were the light that gave color to this dull, unforgiving world. You were the person who gave me the strength to live and keep going.

And I did.

For you.

I didn't know it was possible for my heart to grow even more.

I didn't know it was possible to love a person as much as I love you.

But you never felt the same way.

I was just your best friend.

I was just the person you'd confide with.

I was just the person who will always be there for you.

I was just the person who gave you advice on how to get a girl.

I was just the person who gave you advice on what to do on a date.

I was just the person who told you what to do for your anniversary.

And now I'm just the person who is your best man.

You've always had, and you always will have, my heart. It just hurts so much that I could never have yours; it belongs to someone else.

But as long as you really are happy, I'm okay. I'll be okay. You did look happy as you watched her walk down the aisle. You did look happy saying your vows. You did look happy as you two took off just married.

I just wish it was me instead.

This is my thank you, my apology, and my goodbye.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your life.

I'm sorry that I have to break our promise.

I hope that you keep smiling and brightening up the lives of everyone around you.

I love you my dear Kōshi.
