Sona, There’s something I've wanted to tell you for a long time, and I think if I don't say it now, I'll regret it someday. The first time I noticed you was at Golden Retreat. Back then, we didn't know each other, and soon I got to know that you were talking to someone. Later, you got into a relationship with him. Because he was my friend at that time, I never wanted to interfere in any way. I respected your relationship, and I always kept my distance. At first, maybe what I felt was just attraction. But as time passed, it became something much deeper. I saw things from the outside that you probably never knew anyone was noticing. I saw how much effort you put into loving someone. I saw how hard you tried, how much you cared, how much you gave. And honestly, every time I saw you getting hurt, I felt helpless. There were so many moments when I wished I could stop your pain, but it wasn't my place to do that. So I stayed quiet. What amazed me wasn't the relationship itself—it was you. The way you loved. The way you stayed. The way you fought for someone you cared about. And somewhere along the way, I started thinking, "How beautiful must it feel to be loved by someone like her?" Life moved on. I had my own struggles, my own relationship, my own battles. I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm perfect because I'm not. But through all of that, there was always a small corner of my heart that never stopped caring about you. When college was ending, I realized that if I didn't at least try to talk to you, I would carry that regret for years. So I gathered all the courage I had and texted you. And honestly? Talking to you has made me happier than I expected. I know you've told me that after everything you've been through, you're happy on your own right now. I know you've made it clear that you don't want to get into a relationship. And I genuinely respect that. That's exactly why I'm not here to take away your peace, Sona. I'm not here to ruin the happiness you've rebuilt. I'm here because I want to add to it. I want to be the person who reminds you how beautiful you are when you forget. I want to be the person who appreciates your efforts instead of taking them for granted. I want to be the person who chooses you every day, not just when it's convenient. Not through big promises. Not through fancy words. But through actions. I don't want you to believe me because of this message. I want you to believe me because of how I show up. Give me a chance to know you better. Let's be friends. Let's spend time understanding each other. Let's build something slowly, honestly, and differently from what either of us has experienced before. Something that lasts because both people choose to make it last. And yes, maybe all of this sounds cheesy. Maybe it sounds like something you've heard before. But every single line I'm writing is true. There's one more thing I want you to know. You think I'm still with someone, but I'm not. That chapter ended a while ago, and it's over completely. The truth is, I was building my dreams, chasing my goals, and trying to create something meaningful for my future. I wanted someone who would understand that journey and walk beside me through it. Unfortunately, things didn't work out that way. But that's in the past now. What matters is that today, I'm standing here being honest with you. And the honesty is simple: For a long time, there has been something in my heart for you. Something that never really left. I'm not asking you for an answer today. I'm not asking you to jump into a relationship. I'm only asking for a chance. A chance to know you. A chance to make you smile. A chance to show you, through my actions, the kind of love and care I always wished I could give you. And if someday, after knowing me, you feel that there's something here too, then I promise I'll do everything I can to make this story worth telling.
