My Unrequited Love

Hii, You have successfully decoded the Easter Egg with the Password. You've earned to know my story. This is specifically made for only one person and that's HER. However if you still figured it out how to reach here and the password, then You've earned this to know my story.

Let's start -

I still remember the first time I saw you.
It was during the induction programme. You were wearing a parrot neon top with blue jeans. No makeup, nothing extra, yet you looked naturally beautiful. While everyone else was just another face in the crowd, you were the only one my eyes kept going back to.

Then you went on the stage in front of everyone and gave your introduction.
Maybe for everyone else it was just a normal moment, but for me it felt different. I even remember everything what you said about you at that time, I was too busy being lost in your eyes. Something about you felt effortless, calm, and special. That was the first time I noticed you, though I didn’t know then how important you would become to me.

Later, I followed you on Instagram.
When you followed me back, it may have looked like a small thing, but for me it felt bigger than that. I secretly added you to my close friends list, just to feel a little more connected to you in the smallest way I could.

Then one day I put a note saying I needed help with homework.

You replied, 👀 May I?

That tiny reply was the real beginning of our story. No dramatic scene, no movie-like start — just a few words on a screen that quietly opened the door to everything that came later.

After that, we started talking online.
Message by message, conversation by conversation, you slowly became part of my daily life. Then came our first offline meetup at the university. I still remember how shy I was around you. I wanted to talk normally, act confident, be casual — but the truth is I was nervous, because you already mattered to me more than I wanted to admit.

Then came our first video call on 22 August 2025 at 11:09 PM.
For the world, it may have been just a call. For me, it was the night texts became a voice, comfort got a face, and feelings started becoming real. Hearing you, seeing you, talking for hours — it all felt natural, as if we had known each other much longer than we actually had.

After that, days were no longer just normal days.
They became calls that lasted for hours. Nights became shorter because talking to you felt better than sleeping. I started waiting for your notifications like they meant something important. Your replies could lift my mood. Your silence could make me overthink. Your happiness mattered to me more than I openly admitted.

Without realising it, you had become my habit.

You became the first person I wanted to tell things to. The first person I thought about when something happened. The first person whose attention felt valuable. Loving you was never some planned decision. It happened naturally, slowly, and deeply.

I remember the gestures, the small moments that may have looked ordinary to others but meant everything to me. I still remember your birthday at Zero Point. It was not just a birthday in my memory — it was one more beautiful day where being near you felt enough.

I loved you in the quietest and most genuine way.
By remembering small details. By caring when you were not okay. By waiting for your replies. By feeling happy when you were happy. By making space for you in my mind without you even asking for it.

Then life started changing.

There were exams. Responsibilities. Stress. Your mother’s illness. Situations neither of us could fully control. Slowly, the calls reduced. The conversations became less frequent. The closeness that once felt effortless started becoming distant.

And that was one of the hardest feelings I ever learned.
To miss someone who is still there, but no longer there in the same way.

When you said no to a relationship because of some circumstances we can't even change or control, I understood it logically. I knew reality can be harsh. But the heart does not move on as quickly as the mind understands. Even after knowing the reasons, my feelings did not just disappear.

I never hated you for it.
How could I hate someone who once gave me some of my happiest moments?

Even when I was hurt, I cared. Even when I felt ignored, I still wished good things for you. Even when I tried to detach, some quiet part of me remained with you.

There were moments that broke me too.

Times when I realised I may not matter to you the same way anymore. Times when hearing about another guy hurt more than I showed. Times when I had to act normal outside while feeling shattered inside. Times when I wanted answers but stayed silent.

But pain also taught me things love never could.
It taught me that loving someone deeply should never mean losing yourself. It taught me that memories can be beautiful without becoming chains. It taught me that some people are meant to change you.

So where am I now?

I still care for you, but differently now. More quietly. More maturely. Without expectations. You remain as an unforgettable chapter of my life.
It is true that I still love you, and want to be with you forever, want to live a life I imagined with you. However I cannot change circumstances, I can't control you. I can love you, but I know It's your wish who you want to love...by whom you want to be loved. I just knew that it wasn't me for you. I hope next time God will bring us together Forever and will never make us apart. I'll always remember You, I'll always -

Yes I'll always love you, always remember you and maybe name my future child on your name.

And so yes I was here -

Some people become your future.
Some become your lesson.
Some become your pain.

And some become all three at once.

You were never just a girl to me.

You were the person who taught me how beautiful attachment can feel, how painful distance can be, and how strong a person must become after both.

If love means wanting someone’s happiness even when it is not with you, then yes, I loved you truly.

If love means remembering someone long after the moments have passed, then yes, some silent corner of my heart still does.

And if love means growing because of someone, even through pain, then maybe you gave me more than you ever knew.

You were the girl in the parrot neon top and blue jeans, standing confidently during induction, not knowing that somewhere in the crowd, a shy boy had already started a story he would remember until end of his life.
