He had always admired him from afar. His smile, his voice, his laugh. Everything about him was perfect. He was the reason he came to work every day, the reason he endured the boring meetings and the annoying clients. He was his motivation, his inspiration, his obsession.
He knew everything about him. His name, his age, his birthday, his hobbies, his favorite food, his favorite color, his favorite movie. He had memorized every detail of his life, every photo on his social media, every post on his blog.
He loved him more than anyone else in the world. He loved him more than himself. He loved him more than life itself.
But he never dared to approach him. He never dared to speak to him. He never dared to touch him. He was too afraid of being rejected, of being ignored, of being hurt. He was too afraid of losing him, of sharing him, of letting him go.
He was content with just admiring him from afar. He was content with just being a silent observer. He was content with just being a secret admirer.
