If Only You Knew

Some feelings are meant to be spoken.

And some are meant to be kept quietly in your heart.

He was my classmate. Someone I saw almost every day, someone who slowly became the person my eyes searched for without me even realizing it.

I knew I couldn't simply walk up to him and expect everything to be easy. So instead, I chose to admire him quietly- to support him from afar, treasure the little moments we shared, and be happy whenever I saw him happy.

There were no promises between us. No confession. No certainty that he would ever feel the same way.

Just me, my unspoken feelings, and another ordinary school year where every small interaction somehow meant more than it should.

Maybe this was only a crush.

Maybe it would eventually fade.

Or maybe, somewhere between the laughter, the awkward moments, and the days we spent sitting in the same classroom...

I'd find out that sometimes, the quietest feelings can become the most unforgettable ones.
