Can I love you?
Just one simple question.
But it made my heart ache.
Never thought I would hear such a question from you.
Don’t you know I always value our friendship above everything else?
Never thought you have different opinion.
Never thought you prefer our relationship being like this.
Can I love you?
Just one simple statement.
But it made me happy. To death.
Never thought you could say it to me.
It’s been so hard keeping all my feelings.
That it’s not only me who feel it this way.
Can I love you?
I wonder.
Do I need to say it?
Do I need to answer it?
I’m scared.
Knowing we have feeling for each other really scares me.
We should not be like this.
It may break our friendship.
Not between us, but among thirteen of us.
What will happen if I say so?
What will they react towards us?
The world is not a fairy tale.
You cannot simply say you will take me to the end of the world,
That nobody will interfere,
That nobody cares.
And don’t ever forget.
Happily ever after only exists in fairy tales.
Between a prince, and a princess.
You are not my prince.
I’m not your princess either.
Happily ever after is not our ending.
But I cannot help it.
I’ve fallen for you.
Too far.
Too deep.
Staring into your dark eyes, I found nothing but truth.
That you will rescue me,
Even if I fall
Even if I’m dying
Even if I’m alone
Yes,
I whispered.
Can I love you back?
