The Beginning
Carly, I hope this message finds you well. I know it's been a while since we last spoke, but there's something I need to get off my chest. It's been weighing on me for months now, and I just can't keep it inside any longer.
The Confession
I've been keeping a secret from you, Carly. Something that I should have told you a long time ago. The truth is, I've been in love with you for years. I know, it sounds crazy, and maybe it is. But I can't help how I feel.
The Fear
The reason I never told you is because I was afraid. I was afraid of ruining our friendship, of making things awkward between us. I was afraid of being rejected and losing you altogether. But now, I realize that keeping this secret has been even more painful than the thought of rejection.
The Regret
I regret not telling you sooner, Carly. I regret not taking that chance, not risking everything for the possibility of being with you. I know it's too late now, that you've moved on with someone else. But I needed to tell you anyway, to get it off my chest and find some closure.
The Apology
I'm sorry, Carly. I'm sorry for not being honest with you, for not being brave enough to tell you how I really feel. I hope you can forgive me, even if you can't understand why I kept this from you for so long.
The Gratitude
Despite everything, Carly, I'm grateful for our friendship. You've been there for me through thick and thin, and I value your presence in my life more than anything. Even if we can't be together romantically, I hope we can still remain friends and support each other.
The Closure
So there it is, Carly. My unsent message, my confession, my apology, my regret, and my gratitude. I don't expect anything from you, except maybe some understanding and closure. I just needed to get this off my chest and let you know how I truly feel.
The Final Thoughts
It's funny how things work out in life. How we can be so close to someone and yet so far apart. How we can have feelings that we keep hidden, even from ourselves. I don't know what the future holds, Carly, but I know that I'll always cherish our friendship, even if it's just that.
The End
Thank you for reading this, Carly. I hope it didn't come as too much of a shock or a burden. I just needed to say what I've been feeling for so long. Take care of yourself, and know that you'll always have a special place in my heart.
