A letter of Unheard Wishes

To that unrequited love,

Of all my plans, falling in love with you was definitely not in the list. But now that I did, everything seems like a dream. When everything around me was destroyed by a storm, you came to me as a little potion of hope.

A year ago, I turned to a friend for comfort, and it turned out that he was everything I was ever looking for. It's crazy how all this while I kept looking for the missing piece in me at all the wrong places, while you were right in front of me sipping coffee!

Just like Monica found Chandler in an unknown country, even after living next door for years, I found you at the most unexpected phase. But our story had a twist.

Not all love stories have a happy ending like Mondler, do they? Chandler too found Monica in the most unexpected way. But you did not find me how I was hoping. And thus began the era of hopeless emotions and unrequited wishes! So here I am pouring my heart out and expressing every inch of how I fell in love with you head over heels!

They say the simplest things are the most beautiful ones. So is our friendship. But something in me changed when I crossed the threshold of simplicity and discovered the one direction love. So yes! I'm shamelessly in love with you, and equally scared of admitting it to you.

I found myself in the process of knowing you. And how lucky I was to have met you in this rat race. Knowing you also got me how we were two parallel lines. So, as a matter of fact, you might not even get this letter, ever. In the race of emotions and fear, my fear of losing the closest friend over my desires wins!

Millennial kids always have a fantasy world of their own. In the fairyland of mine, I dream of walking into the sunset holding your hand. But the world is not a wish-granting factory. I still want to be the comfort you seek in pain and the laughter you share in the grief. In reality, I am, just not the way I want to.

Although, if you ask me, I would have wanted to meet you at a different place and a different time. And if I could, I would go back in time to change this equation. Since I know these wishes can never come true, I will find my comfort in this infatuation, sooner or later.

Love,
The girl who lives next door
