Hello, Troy Tristan!

I'm not sure how to start this hehe. But okay, so I want to say thank you. Thank you for being my friend. For tolerating my playful side. To be honest, I was grateful that my playfulness and the urge to tease you became the reason for us to get close to each other. Sayang lang, kasi medyo nagkaroon ng boundaries na sa atin. Naintindihan ko naman haha. We both needed the distance, especially me. I admire you. And those days and mornings and late-night chats with you were the best moments I have had this year.

You told me once or maybe twice, that you felt like napipilitan lang ako mag reply. But, I want you to know that I was looking forward to your messages every day. Hindi ako gaano nakakareply kaagad, pero sobrang na appreciate ko iyong mga chats mo. It might seem like I wasn't interested in you or don't like talking to you, but trust me, I love whenever your name pops up on my screen. Maybe some of me knew how this would end, so I took a step back. It will be hard to adjust. I have to get used to the fact that I won't get those usual morning messages, still, I know I have to get used to my boring days, again.

It made me think a lot. I realized that there's so much more in you. And there are also a lot of things that you deserve that I cannot offer. I also thought that I need more time for myself and that I still have a lot to learn and to experience in this life. But, I can't let my emotion control me. It's nice having some crush or someone to admire, still, the feelings cannot go deeper than pure admiration. There's so much more to explore in this world.

I like you but I also think we're better off as friends. I'm not sure what you feel for me, but I think we're both not ready for anything more than that. Assuming that you might like me, we both can't commit to our current situation and maybe with our age, too. So this is what's best. To remain friends. And God knows how I was relieved to know that we'll still be friends. It's kinda awkward, still, I'll take this than not having you at all. Thank you so much for everything. Always remember that I'm here for you. That won't change. You deserve love and happiness in this world.

Malay mo, tayo pa rin sa huli... chz hahahaha

Lots of love,
the girl who likes you.
