A few years ago, I had a crush on my best friend and never told them.

At the time, I kept convincing myself it would pass or that I was probably just confusing closeness for something more. But looking back, it was definitely a real crush.

I’d overanalyze every conversation, every text, every little thing they did. I kept wondering if there was ever a chance they felt the same way, but I cared too much about our friendship to risk making things awkward by saying anything.

Life moved on, and I’m happy where I am now, but every once in a while I think about it and wonder what would’ve happened if I’d just been honest.

I’ll probably never know.
