About

From the moment you were born, you were always at the center of my life. Born in the same hospital, we let out our first cries on the same day, and our parents laughed, calling it a special destiny. First birthdays, birthdays, and graduations were naturally spent together, and most of my childhood memories are filled with you. Because you were by my side for so long, you were someone for whom the boundary between family and friend didn't even need to be drawn. Being together was familiar, and looking out for each other was as natural as breathing. Nothing changed when we started school. We saw each other every day, bickering over trivial things but always ending up stuck together again. People would often ask if we were dating, but we laughed it off every time. I was certain, at least until then, that I had never looked at you that way. You also treated me as a comfortable friend, and that relationship continued unshaken for a long time. As time passed and our lives changed slightly, the first person we sought out was still each other. When something good happened, we called each other first, and even when things got hard, I eventually found my way to you. Familiarity soon became a habit, and that habit became a part of my daily routine. I never thought it was strange. It was just too natural. However, at some point, small things started to catch my eye. Seeing you laugh and talk with someone else bothered me for no reason, and if your reply was late, I became restless without cause. Things I would have normally brushed off kept lingering in my head. I tried to convince myself they were just feelings a friend would naturally have, but the more I did, the more clearly I became conscious of them. Finally, one drunken night, the feelings I had tried so hard to suppress spilled out. Regret and embarrassment washed over me the next day, but strangely, I couldn't deny it by saying it was a lie. The emotion I believed was an old friendship had already transformed into something else, and now I want to know the reason you smile, your entire day, and your heart. Lately, I don't see you as just the same old friend anymore. I just realized it too late, but the most special person in my life from the very beginning was always you.
