I found a friend. And you were no ordinary friend. I don’t know what happened, but we were a fit. Everything clicked. We could talk for hours.  When we ran out of “juicy kuwentos”, we’d sing our hearts out.

The chemistry we had online extended to the real world, though it may not have been evident the first time we met.


I was your big sister. I was always there to listen when you had problems. I was the person you poured your heart out to when you felt the world wasn’t treating you right. I only realized how close we’ve become when you cried over the phone during one of our   conversations. Cried. In frustration. Over your girlfriend. You may not have noticed it, but it was all I could do to keep my voice from cracking while I was trying to comfort you.

We kept no secrets from each other. You trusted me with your best kept secret. I hid nothing from you.

Even the fact that I was already falling for you. You deserved to know. You are my best friend, and I will not keep anything from you.

That was a month ago…

Now I am still on a free fall. Each day I grow more in love with you. So this is how it feels…. It’s been so long since I felt this way, and I welcome it. I welcome the feeling of love. I’ve found my inspiration in you. I will not deny myself this feeling. I will not deny myself the happiness I derive from simply thinking of you. I will keep on loving you.

I do this despite the knowledge that you will never fall for me. You can never see me in a romantic light. I do not expect you to love me back. Just let me love you. Let me love you, and I will always stay. As a confidant. As a sister.

As a friend.
